Carry The Weight

Intro 
Em  Em  G   A5 
A   Em  Em  Em  Em 


 
Em 
Sometimes I take the long way home 
G 
Ride around 'til the demons are gone 
  D/F# 
I try to keep 'em tied up where they belong 
D  Am                           Em        A 
I hide 'em in the lines written in these songs 

     Em 
Sometimes 

I find 
     G 
I'm struggling to walk to the line 
           D/F# 
Never feel far away from the edge of sin 
        Am 
Trying real hard not to let the devil in  


{Instrumental} 
Em   G   D   Am7 


 
     Em 
Well I got a lot to complain about 
        G 
Rather shoulder the load, shut my mouth 
      D 
Just paying the toll all men must pay 
    Am7 
It wouldn't change a damn thing anyway 
 

 
              Em 
'Cause these wolves they keep coming 
           G 
Fight 'em off each one by one and 
          D 
Prison's hell but always running 
       Am7 
Givin' hell but I'm outgunned and I'm still 

 Em 
Holdin' back the darkness from getting close 
       G 
Still hoping that this heart doesn't turn too cold 
       D 
Ain't asking for praise 

Don't need to be saved 
  Am7 
I only pray for the strength 
              Em   G   D   Am7 
To carry the weight 
 

 
Em 
Got this drive deep in my bones 
    G 
To guide, provide, protect my own 
 D 
Give it all until I'm broken 
     Am 
And sleep with one eye open 
 

 
              Em 
'Cause these wolves they keep coming 
           G 
Fight 'em off each one by one and 
          D 
Prison's hell but always running 
       Am 
Givin' hell but I'm outgunned and I'm still 

 Em 
Holdin' back the darkness from getting close 
       G 
Still hoping that this heart doesn't turn too cold 
       D 
Ain't asking for praise 

Don't need to be saved 
  Am 
I only pray for the strength 
              Em   G 
To carry the weight 
           D           Am 
Carry the weight, yeah ah 


{Break} 
          Em 
Though I hope to be the man I pretend to be 
     G 
I'm closer to my own worst enemy 
     D/F#             D 
That loneliness is a friend to me 
Am] N.C.
If I let it'd be the end of me  


{Instrumental/Solo} 
Em   G   D    Am 
             Yeaaaaa 


 
       Em 
These wolves they keep coming 
           G 
Fight 'em off each one by one and 
          D 
Prison's hell but always running 
       Am 
Givin' hell but I'm outgunned and I'm still 

 Em 
Holdin' back the darkness from getting close 
       G 
Still hoping that this heart doesn't turn too cold 
       D 
Ain't asking for praise 

Don't need to be saved 
Am 
I only pray for the strength 
              Em   G 
To carry the weeeight 
           D   Am 
Carry the weeeight 
      Em   Em   D   A 
Oh oh oh
