The Weight

Em Bm C G


[Verse]

Em        Bm       C            
I want to go back, forget that 
      G
it's over
Em         Bm     C             
Painted in black, when you left 
      G
me alone
Em      Bm            C
I never knew, she was sleeping next 
door
                   G         Em   
With the kid I grew up with, and I
      Bm            C
 can't go back to her
G        D
Anymore, no more


[Chorus]

Em             C            G   
You tell me you were happier 
                    D
with him, but you want me to stay
Em                  C            
And you tell me that you needed 
    G               D
time but you push me away
Em               C               
And when you try to take me back,
G                    D
 my heavy heart just breaks
                             Em Bm 
No, I can't lift the weight
C G



[Verse]

Em        Bm         C          
Put you in the past, try to 
        G
forget you cause it's over
Continúa después del anuncio
Em        Bm           C        
And every time you ask I'll 
         G
pretend I'm okay
Em            Bm
You're inside my head,
C
In the middle of the night when I 
don't feel right
G                       Em       
I dream I can hold you, and I 
   Bm            C         G      
can't go back to you anymore, yeah, 
D
yeah


[Chorus]

Em             C            G   
You tell me you were happier 
                    D
with him, but you want me to stay
Em                  C            
And you tell me that you needed 
    G               D
time but you push me away
Em               C               
And when you try to take me back,
G                    D
 my heavy heart just breaks
                     Em    C      
But, I can't lift the weight, and 
G                D
I can't lift the weight


[Bridge]

Em                               
And I can't lift the weight, no I 
D
can't life the weight
C                                
Yeah, you stand on my shoulders and 
G
my heart just breaks
Em                               
And I can't lift the weight, no I 
D
can't life the weight
C                                 
Yeah, you stand on my shoulders 
  G
and my heart just breaks
Em                               
And I can't lift the weight, no I 
D
can't life the weight
     C                             
Yeah, you lower your standards and I
G
 raise the stakes
      Em                         D
And I can't lift the weight, no I 
                   C      G
can't lift the weight


[Chorus]

Em             C            G   
You tell me you were happier 
                    D
with him, but you want me to stay
Em                  C            
And you tell me that you needed 
    G               D
time but you push me away
Em               C               
And when you try to take me back,
G                    D
 my heavy heart just breaks
                     Em    C      
But, I can't lift the weight, and 
G                D
I can't lift the weight


[Chorus]

Em             C            G   
You tell me you were happier 
                    D
with him, but you want me to stay
Em                  C            
And you tell me that you needed 
    G               D
time but you push me away
Em               C
And when you try to take me back
    G               D             
Say someday you will change, but I
                  Em Bm C G
 don't wanna wait
