D Dm D Dm Gm

[VERSE 1]
D                                Em
I wanted you once but I need you now
                   D                         Em
Like a bird flying high, in the winter flies south
D                                                Em
and these stones that you've thrown haven't come close
              D
to turning my eyes
                          Em
they're just rocks in the road

[CHORUS]
G                        D
I carry your heart on my shoulders

and it's no cross to bear
                 Em
it's no ball and chain
        D
it's no weight
        F#m Em D
it's so easy

[VERSE 2]
D                                      Em
We eased down in the water and drifted away
                     D                         Em
we could hear others calling but not a word they were saying
D                                                Em
and these stones that you've thrown, too big for some
                      D
have just rippled the water
                Em
and sunk to the bottom

[CHORUS]
G                        D
I carry your heart on my shoulders

and it's no cross to bear
                 Em
it's no ball and chain
        D
it's no weight
        F#m Em D
it's so easy
