Biography:
Billy Joel (born William Martin Joel on May 9, 1949 in Bronx, New York, USA) is an American pianist, singer-songwriter, and composer. Since releasing his first hit song, "Piano Man," in 1973, Joel has become a multi-million-selling recording artist. Joel recorded many popular hit songs and albums from 1971 until he stopped recording pop/rock music in 1993. He is one of the very few rock (or even pop) artists to have Top 10 hits in the '70s, '80s, and '90s.

Album: The Bridge
(This is from a piano score I play in "C Major"
The chords are the same on the guitar as on the piano.
For me, the chord inversions on the piano are smoother
Than on the guitar, but thats just me. Have Fun!)
[Intro]
G/C C G/C C E/G# Eaug/G# E/G# Eaug/G#
G/C C G/C C E/G# Eaug/G# E/G# G#dim
[Verse 1]
F E7 Am7
It's time for me to be on my way I know
Dm
I've got business to conduct
F/A Gsus4
And I've got places to go
G/F F E7 Am7
But I can't help looking at her sleeping in-stead.
Dm7 F/A G
Another morning I'll have trouble climbing out of this bed,
F/G C Dm C/E F G E C
Because - she's such a temp-ta- tion
Dm C/E F G F C
It's driv-ing me cra-zy
Dm C/E F G
And it's my fas-ci - na-tion
Am7 D G/D D
That's making me act this way
Am7 D G/D F
And I know what all my friends say
C/G G
They're a-fraid that I'm losing my touch
G/C C
But she's such a temp-ta - tion.
[Instrumental]
G/C C E/G# Eaug/G# E/G# Eaug/G# E/G#
[Verse 2]
F E7 Am7
I look so tired cause I don't get much sleep
Dm F/A Gsus4 G
And I've got too many commitments that are too hard to keep
G/F F
And I try to be rational
E7 Am7
And I try to be wise
Dm7
But it all gets blown to pieces
F/A G
When I look in her eyes
F/G C Dm C/E F G F/G C
Because - She's such a temp-ta-tion
Dm C/E F G F/G C
And no-thing can save me
Dm C/E F G
But I might find sal-va-tion
Am7 D G/D D
If I can tear myself away ('Cause)
Am7 D G/D F
I know what all of my friends say
C/G G
There's a danger in wanting too much
G/C C
But she's such a temp-ta - tion
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
F
I should be leaving
E7 Am7
But I can't cut loose
Dm7
I have my reasons for resistance
F/A Gsus4
But I have no ex-cuse
G G/F F
And I lose my com-posure
E7 Am7
I could use some re-straint
Dm
I never claimed to be a hero
F/A G C
And I never said I was a saint
Dm C/E F G F/G C
She's such a temp-ta-tion
Dm C/E F G F/G C
It's driv-ing me cra-zy
Dm C/E F G
And it's my fasc-i - na-tion
Am D G/D
That's mak-ing me act this way
Am D G/D F
And I can just hear all my friends say
C/G G
"Better watch out, you're losing your touch"
G/C C G/C C
But she's such a temp-ta - tion
[Outro]
E/G# Eaug/G# E/G#
Yes she is
Eaug/G# G/C C G/C
She's such a temp-tation
C E/G#
Yes she is
Eaug/G# E/G#
Oh, Yes she is
Eaug/G# G/F F
She's such a temp-ta - tion
