Bm     E      Bm        E
Am I a fool? Is my hoping in vain?
Bm                        E            Bm                     E
I planted the seed of a shading tree, but I'm standing in the rain
Bm      E   Bm         E
Am I fool? How can it be
Bm                             E        Bm                E
I keep picking the scab of an old wound just to watch it bleed

[Chorus]
G              F#                 Bm
and it's so heavy, too heavy to hold

[Verse]
Bm           E   Bm            E
I watch my cup, fill up with doubt
Bm               E      Bm               E
I keep drinking it up, you keep pouring it out
Bm           E    Bm          E
You push so hard and I push back
Bm                 E                       Bm                       E
before I've even turned around your sights are set aimed and ready to attack

[Chorus]
G             F#                Bm
and it's so heavy too heavy to hold
G          F#               Bm
it's so heavy too heavy to hold

[Bridge]
G            F#
I can't catch up
G                   F#
there's not enough time
          G                           F#
we are so disconnected, discontented disappointed 'cause we lack connection
G
with each other and with the earth
F#
ignorantly thinking this is how it works
G
our lives have no meaning but defeat the machine
  F#
repelling sadness and pain with the swip of a screen
G
people closing their mind, sewing their third eye shut
 F#                         D                    B
measuring what with money? and things they have not

[Chorus]
    G               F#                Bm
and it's just so heavy, too heavy to hold
G               F#                 Bm
it's just so heavy, too heavy to hold

[Outro]
Bm       E    Bm            E
Am I a fool? Is my hoping in vain?
