paulb beat me to the stack of sheet music, if only to verify that "verse" was correct. Well done and welcome "kupatchka" and "clearwrite". The bridge is a third or "c" section, where verse = "a" and chorus = "b". It (usually) has a different structure, tone center and harmonic tempo, and often can act as a bridge back to either the "a" or the "b" sections. This description works better for 20ctry popular music that it does for "serious" forms, and I use the term lightly (and in direct refusal of using the term "classical" here - "Classical" refers to a historical period of music - not a specific form).
[rant]I was busy the last time posters in the "Love of Music..." started whipping around the word classical (as if they were a radio station looking for sponsors)... especially those who clearly know better.[end rant]
It's all about that thing we call "'merican beauty".
