F
Ever carried the weight of another?
C
For how long?
F
I walk as far as they need to recover
C
For how long? (ha!)
[Verse 1]
F
I want to carry a piece of who I was before
So when I hit the wall, I really hit the wall
C
I want to tear away the death again
A whiter shade of fucking meth again
F
I want to stick to clues, I want to come unglued
I want to shape the world to fit the way you move
C
Oh, should I listen for a dress size?
[Verse 2]
F
I owned up, I've grown up, do you remember me?
F
I showed up and so what if I'm the used to be?
C
I'm here to tell you that I'm sorry I was sorry
C
But I'm happy that you're happy
C
This is no longer about me
F
Trade rules, switch sides for your beautiful eyes
F
Let him be you through your beautiful cries
C
Let him hold you up so you can touch affordable skies
C
Live your life just like a dream
F
Without the pain of goodbyes
C
Goodbye!
[Chorus]
F
Ever carried the weight of another?
C
For how long?
F
I walk as far as they need to recover
C
For how long?
[Verse 3]
F
I been a drunk disrespectful little street punk
F
Unlock the back of my trunk
F
You see, you take this bat
C
And bash my head into the street again
C
No-ones around so I keep beating it
F
Pull my hair back, look me in the eye
F
There's a self-destructive meaning in the bleeding of a guy
C
It's the guilt of what reality has given me
C
Making sense of all mistakes and my stupidity
[Verse 4]
F
And when you're sick you seem to think
F
You've failed eternally
And that the people you let in are only crumbling
C
When you're sick of thinking life in this recovery
C
When my decision paved the road
That lies in front of me
F
So to my friends that even call but I don't call back
I want you deep inside my heart upon a hill
C
It seems to hide sometimes and run away and wonder
I'm really sick of saying sorry but I will
[Chorus]
F
Ever carried the weight of another?
C
For how long?
F
I walk as far as they need to recover
C
For how long?
[Bridge]
G
But are we scared to take the ride?
F Fm
Or dare to look inside?
C
I'm floating far away (far away)
Am
I'm floating far away (leaving home)
F
I'm floating far away (so far away)
C
For how long?
[Verse 5]
C
I want to learn to walk with others as an equal
C
I want to treat the ones who love me with respect
Am
I want to tell the world I'll give them all a piggyback
Am
And try to take away my negative effect
F
I want to kiss the girl, I know I'll never lie again
G
I want to call my dad and tell him that I care
C
I want to let my mama know
C
He saved my life a thousand times
C
Throughout the years he's been my friend
C
Who's always there
[Outro]
F
Ever carried the weight of another?
C
For how long?
