Dead Weight

 
E 
Theres panic in our silence 
A 
Theres knots inside my guts 
E 
Im acting like a child 
A 
I cant speak without choking up 

E 
Youre scared Im gonna hurt you 
A 
Just like I have before 
E 
And I said sorry so many times 
A 
You dont believe me anymore 
 

 
F#m                     A 
Do what I can to hold you close 
F#m                                     A Am 
But what if Im just wearing down your bones 
E       A 
Dead weight 
E       A 
Dead weight 
 

 
E                               A 
Ill never understand just what it is you see in me 
E                               A 
How can you hold me up so high when I feel this heavy? 
E                               A 
If I was you Id cut me loose, shed myself a pound or two 
E                               A 
Save myself from turning into someone that I cant undo 

E 
If I was you Id run away 
A 
Get out of life fore its too late 
E 
Take back the time Ive made you waste 
A 
Throw out the hope that thingsll change 
E               A 
Cause its dead weight 
E       A 
Dead weight 
 

 
F#m                     A 
Do anything to keep you close 
F#m                                  A Am 
But I know Im just wearing down your bones 
E
