The Weight

G                         D
I think we spend too much time
          Em           Bm        C
Talking around what we need to say
 G                            D
I think there's always been something
                          Em      Bm
Something you've been dying to say
               C
Cuz I've been dying to say this

         Am
But the words won't
  D                                 Am
They won't make their way out of my lips
       D
Won't make the shape I need to ask you
 Am        D
Why don't, why don't we try
               Em       Bm         C
Let's try to make what we have real
         Am   D         Am     D
Cuz I laaaaaaah... Oh I laahhhhh...
     Am                 D
Oh I la-la-la-la-la-la-laaaaa...
    G     D
I doooooo
                      Em        Bm  C
I can't say it, but I know that I do

G                         D
I think you biting your lip hides
              Em            Bm        C
Something profound that I wish you'd say
 G
My mind's been racing
      D
My heart's been waiting
          Em          Bm
It just wants me to say
                  C
What we've been hiding away

          Am
But the words won't
D                                 Am
They won't make their way out of my lips
      D
Won't make the shape I need to ask you
 Am        D
Why don't, why don't we try
               Em      Bm         C
Let's try to make what we have real
       Am       D
Cuz I laaaaaaah...
      Am        D
Oh I laahhhhh...
       Am                 D
How I la-la-la-la-la-la-laaaaa...
 G
I do

G                           D
It's just a word- just a single word!
                   Em
Tell myself that telling her
    Bm        C
Is not a big thing
  G
More than a word
            D
It changes what she hear, what she's heard
  Em              Bm           C
What we are and what we once were
              Am                                  D
One of these days I'm going to have to take that risk
                        Am                            D
If I'm going to be the man that you can see yourself with
                 Am                         D
I can feel the weight this word can easily shift
          Em      Bm       C
Oh but I want to make it real

       Am        D
Cuz I laaaaaaah...
      Am         D
Oh I laahhhhh...
      Am                  D
How I la-la-la-la-la-la-laaaaa...
  G
I do
                      Em        Bm      C
I can't say it, but I know that I do...
