The Weight

	  		


Intro- Em Bm C G 

 Em        Bm       C                  G 
 I want to go back, forget that it's over 
 Em         Bm     C                   G 
 Painted in black, when you left me alone 
 Em      Bm            C 
 I never knew, she was sleeping next door 
                    G         Em         Bm            C 
 With the kid I grew up with, and I can't go back to her 
 G        D     
 Anymore, no more 

 Em             C            G                       D 
 You tell me you were happier within, you want me to stay 
 Em                  C                G               D                                                            
 And you tell me that you needed time but you push me away 
 Em               C               G                    D 
 But then you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks 
                              Em C G D 
 No, I can't lift the weight 

 Em        Bm         C                  G 
 Put you in the past, try to forget you cause it's over 
 Em        Bm           C                 G 
 And every time you ask I'll pretend I'm okay 
 Em            Bm 
 You're inside my head, 
 C 
 In the middle of the night when I don't feel right 
 G                       Em          Bm            C         G      D 
 I dream I can hold you, and I can't go back to you anymore, yeah, yeah 

 Em             C            G                       D 
 You tell me you were happier within, you want me to stay 
 Em                  C                G               D                                                            
 And you tell me that you needed time but you push me away 
 Em               C               G                    D 
 But then you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks 
                      Em    C      G                D 
 But, I can't lift the weight, and I can't lift the weight 

 Em                              D 
 And I can't lift the weigh, no I can't life the weight 
 G                                  C 
 Yeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks 
 Em                              D              
 And I can't lift the weigh, no I can't life the weight 
 G                                   C 
 Yeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks 
 Em                              D 
 And I can't lift the weigh, no I can't life the weight 
      G                             C 
 Yeah, you lower your standards and I raise the stakes 
       Em                         D                   G      C 
 And I can't lift the weigh, no I can't life the weight 

 Em             C            G                       D 
 You tell me you were happier within, you want me to stay 
 Em                  C                G               D                                                            
 And you tell me that you needed time but you push me away 
 Em               C               G                    D 
 But then you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks 
                      Em    C      G                D 
 But, I can't lift the weight, and I can't lift the weight 

  
 Em             C            G                       D 
 You tell me you were happier within, you want me to stay 
 Em                  C                G               D                                                            
 And you tell me that you needed time but you push me away 
 Em               C               G                    D 
 But then you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks 
     Em               C                         D 
 Say someday you will change, but I don't wanna wait
