Heavy Things

| C G | C G | C G | C G |
C                         G
Things are falling down on me
C                    G
Heavy things I could not see
| C G | C G |
C                    G
When I finally came around
C                       G
Something small would pin me down
| C G | C G |
F                 G (hold)
When I try to step aside
I move to where they'd hoped I'd be
| C G | C G |

F                  C
Vanessa calls me on the phone
F                  C
Reminding me I'm not alone
F                   C
I fuss and quake and cavitate
                     G
I try to speak and turn to stone

Tilly reaches through my vest
F                     C
To do the thing that she does best
F                  C
She probes and tears my ventricles
                  G
Steals my one remaining breath

F                      C
Stumbling as I fall from Grace
F                  C
She needs my vision to replace
F                     C
Her ailing sight throughout the 
night
                    G
Leaving two holes in my face

F                    C
Mary was a friend I'd say
F               C
'til one summer day
F                  C
She borrowed everything I owned
                 G
And then simply ran away,
