This could be heavy,
          D       A
not as easy,as it seems.
               D       G
Quite tough to carry,
               D                 A   
a lot more inside,that no-one has seen.

    Bm       A
But you lying there,
       D           G
you're not one bit scared,
   D
to shoulder,
             A
a burden like me.

   D                G
So don't close your eyes,
          D           G
turn your face to the skies,
    D                        A    Asus
and breath me as deep as you can.
     Bm                 A
Your strong heart won't break,
        D        G       A
are you ready to take,
                D      G    D   A
the weight of a man.

               D         G
I'm so hard to handle,
            D                          A
my life's a suitcase that's never been closed.
                   D           G
Don't know how you stand me,
           D 
or how you love me,
         A
god only knows.

        Bm                A
There's ghosts and there's witches,
        D              G
there's black eyes and stitches.
          D
They come with me,
                 A     Asus
it's part of the show.

the weight of a man.

G            D
suspended on air,
        Bm           G
because you're lying there.
             D                        A     Asus
you shift me slightly and find inspiration.
G                       D
Cause those witches and ghosts,
          Bm               G
play some havoc with their host,
            D
you make me lighter,
              G  A    Asus  A
you're my salva-tion.
