Bm                             Em
One step forward and two steps back
D            A
Nothing good ever comes easy
Bm                                  Em
I gave it all and got a knife in my back
D                            A
Should have known the ones I trusted would leave me
G                       A
They only see what they wanna see


[Chorus]
Bm           Em            D
Heavy is the weight that I hold
    A
The weight that I hold
  Bm                  Em         D
I carry it cause it's all that I know
        A
This is all that I know
Bm
Pressure on me
Em
Pressure to be
D             A
True to who I am
             G
Heavy is the weight
    C
The weight that I hold


[Verse 2]
Bm                               Em
One life, one chance, it's all I have
D                      A
Wouldn't matter if the whole world hated me
Bm                       Em
So I move on, forget the past
D                      A
And let 'em go back to thinkin' they made me
G                       A
They only see what they want to see


[Chorus]
Bm           Em            D
Heavy is the weight that I hold
    A
The weight that I hold
  Bm                  Em         D
I carry it cause it's all that I know
        A
This is all that I know
Bm
Pressure on me
Em
Pressure to be
D             A
True to who I am
             G
Heavy is the weight
    C
The weight that I hold


[Interlude]
Bm Em D A


[Verse 3]
Bm
Heavy is the weight
Bm
I don't wanna wait
Bm
For them all to be good
Bm
When I wanna be great
Bm
Yeah, I know about pressure
Bm
Yeah, I know about stressin'
Bm
Worried if I'll lose everything invested
Bm
And I know about workin' when I'm hardly rested
Bm
Like, am I in tune with what I'm destined for?
Bm
Been carrying this weight for so long
Bm
Didn't even notice that my back was so strong
Bm
I can probably put a boat on it with no problem
Bm
The show must go on


[Chorus]
Bm           Em            D
Heavy is the weight that I hold
    A
The weight that I hold
  Bm                  Em         D
I carry it cause it's all that I know
        A
This is all that I know
Bm
Pressure on me
Em
Pressure to be
D             A
True to who I am
             G
Heavy is the weight
    A
The weight that I hold


[End Chorus]
Bm           Em            D
Heavy is the weight that I hold
    A
The weight that I hold
  Bm                  Em         D
I carry it cause it's all that I know
        A
This is all that I know
Bm
Pressure on me
Em
Pressure to be
D             A
True to who I am
             G
Heavy is the weight
             A
Heavy is the weight
A                 Bm
The weight that I hold
