Chorus
A x8 C#m x8
The weight of love is more than all the world
A x8 C#m x8
Requiring a strength I can't provide

If only I was not so terrified

Verse 2 (same as verse 1)
I've seen her smile
I've made her cry
I've been embraced
I've been denied
All these things
A symptom of
A stumbling towards
A perfect love
Chorus
A x8 C#m x8
The weight of love is more than all the world

Requiring a strength I can't provide

D x8 (straight to instrumental)
If only I was not so terrified
Instrumental
(this part is weird, the first bit only has the piano playing a B and C# so
its without a chord but the it moves into F#m or F#m9 although the bass note
is a C#, again its only a few notes played by piano and guitar so its hard to
tell)
F#m9/C# x28 C# x 4
Bridge (part 1)
D x8
These doubts that are arising
F#m x8
They've become so paralyzing

Am Dm
My burning heart
Am Dm
Oh how it yearns
C/G E/G#
To be intrigued
C/G E/G#
At every turn
Am Dm
I've tried so hard
Am Dm
To walk the line
C/G E/G#
But nothing keeps
C/G G A x8 C#m7 x8
Me satisfied
Chorus
A x8 C#m x8
The weight of love is more than all the world

If only I was not so terrified
