E                Bm             D                       A 
maybe your daddy never held you like you should, 
E                Bm                  D                     A 
maybe your mama just held on the best she could. 
F#m 
ev'ry soul has a secret, 
D 
give it away or keep it, 
B7                                        D   E 
but yesterday's gone so tell me why. 

  
                    A                                 F#m   
you carry the weight, the weight of the world, 
                      C#m               E 
it's breakin' you down on your back like a boulder. 
A                  F#m                  C#m 
before it's too late, get rid of it, girl, 
       E 
get it off of your shoulder. 
Bm                      D 
i know you've been used, 
Bm                      D                      A 
but you gotta lose the weight of the world. 

  
E          Bm                 D                         A 
maybe i haven't always been there just for you, 
E          Bm               D                    A  
maybe i try but then i got my own life too. 
F#m 
ev'ry heart has a hunger, 
D 
i'm not getting any younger, 
B7                                D  E 
i got all the crosses i can bear. 

  
                        A                                 F#m 
don't gimme the weight, the weight of the world, 
                      C#m            E 
it's breakin' me down on my back like a boulder. 
A                  F#m                  C#m

get it off of my shoulder.

Bm            D                             A 
and i gotta lose the weight of the world. 

  
C#m           D                       A 
it all comes down to who you crucify. 
      C#m               D                B7 
you either kiss the future or the past goodbye, 
              D      E 
we could fly so high. 

  
                        A                                  F#m 
but we carry the weight, the weight of the world, 
                     C#m            E 
it's breakin' us down on our backs like a boulder. 
A                  F#m                  C#m  
before it's too late, get rid of it, girl, 
        E 
get it off of our shoulders. 
Bm                D 
we've all been used, 
Bm              D                              A  
and we gotta lose the weight of the world. 

  
F#m            C#m             E 
it's takin' us down and the night's growin' colder, 
A                     F#m                              C#m  
just blame it on fate, that was yesterday, girl. 
              E  
and we're just growin' older. 
Bm                D  
we've all been used, 
Bm                  D                             A  
now it's time to lose the weight of the world, 
E4                     A 
the weight of the world, 
E4                     A 
the weight of the world.
