Intro 

Eb 



           Bb 
Take a break; let the weight off your shoulders 
    Eb 
A day; let temptation grow bolder 
       Gm 
The flame flickers over and over 
      Eb 
You say, as your candle burns older, 
     Cm            Gm          Eb 
"The weight of the world on my shoulders... 
      Cm     Gm           Eb 
Could Atlas afford not to hold her?" 



                      Bb 
You won't leave your post 
     Eb                     Gm 
For anything less than that golden fruit 
     Eb                    Bb 
And anything less is worth nothing to you 
       Eb 
Can't imagine the stress 
        Cm           Gm             Eb 
Of the weight of the world on your shoulders 



           Bb 
Take a break; let the weight off your shoulders 
    Eb 
A day; let temptation grow bolder 
       Gm 
The flame flickers over and over 
      Eb 
You say, as your candle burns older, 
     Cm            Gm          Eb 
"The weight of the world on my shoulders... 
      Cm     Gm           Eb 
Could Atlas afford not to hold her?" 


 
                 Bb 
You're long over-worked 
    Eb                        Gm 
The skies will not fall if you rest a while 
       Eb                             Bb 
You're scared of the call, but you're wearing a smile 
               Eb 
You're trapped under the thrall 
       Cm             Gm            Eb 
Of the weight of your world on your shoulders 



           Bb

Could Atlas afford not to hold her?" 



    Cm                 Gm                     Eb       Ebsus2 
You sleep with one eye open, your muscles all tensed 
Cm                 Gm                  Eb          Ebsus2 
You won't even try hoping at someone's expense 
        Cm            Gm            Eb 
All the weight of the world on your shoulders 
       Cm              Gm             Eb 
As the warmth in your chest, it grows colder 
          Cm          Gm         Eb 
Fear your ending will turn out poetic and bleak 
        Cm             Gm              Eb 
But you blink and it's right where you left it, so please 



           Bb 
Take a break; let the weight off your shoulders 
    Eb 
A day; let temptation grow bolder 
       Gm 
The flame flickers over and over 
      Eb 
You say, as your candle burns older, 
     Cm            Gm          Eb 
"The weight of the world on my shoulders... 
      Cm     Gm           Eb 
Could Atlas afford not to hold her?"

Could Atlas afford not to hold her?
