Weight

Am
I'm down below where the floor is 
out of focus,
F                        G
pent up and played down, rained in 
and worn out
Am
Picking away at the studs in the 
boards
F                         G
They're all too familiar, I've been 
here before.
Am
The air is like lead and I've 
swallowed what I've said.
F                          G
I'm a broken machine and a match 
already burned.
Am
And I'm quiet, all despite the 
raging in my head
F                                 
Collapsed inside and out until my 
G
strength can return.

[Chorus]
Dm                Am             
I'm undone. All I know is the 
           C         G
weight of the world, so empty and so
        Dm             Am      
uninspired. Sorrow and sleep and 
        C           G
disbelief, caught up in the weight 
of
     Am
the world.

[Verse]
Am
I'm down below where it's silent and
 it's safe,
    F                          
resounding with the question of 
  G
"Where to, from here?"
  Am
I know my direction, I know what it 
takes,
        F                          
but I'm weak and I'm weightless 
  G
with everything to fear.
  Am
I write about what's real to me when
 all I feel is make believe,
     F                         
but I won't say there's nothing 
               G
left, there's everything, but just 
out
   Am
of reach.

[Chorus]
Dm                Am             
I'm undone. All I know is the 
           C         G
weight of the world, so empty and so
        Dm             Am      
uninspired. Sorrow and sleep and 
        C           G
disbelief, caught up in the weight 
of
     Am
the world.

[Bridge]
     C      G      Dm
But I'm not helpless;
 C      G      F
I'm not hopeless.
    C          G       Dm        
But I don't believe in hope on 
           C             G       Am
it's own, no spine and no substance.

[Chorus]
Dm                Am             
I'm undone. All I know is the 
           C         G
weight of the world, so empty and so
        Dm             Am      
uninspired. Sorrow and sleep and 
        C           G
disbelief, caught up in the weight 
of
     Am
the world.

Am                            
It's time to see the floor sink 
            F
around me, pushed down with my two 
bare hands and
Am                                
now I'm stronger for whatever 
  F                   G
comes. Let the blood rush, as I rise
 to
   Am
my feet.
