D Bm A  x3
G


Verse 1:
D                        G       D
Just barely twenty with a slight frame
      D                        G           Bm
And a hunger for something that I couldn't name
       G               D
I went running, I went running
G                A        D
Running barefoot into the night


Verse 2:
      D                   G          D
I got hair the color of a silkworm's dream
    D                               G        Bm
The prettiest little thing that you ever did see
          G                  D
They come running, they come running
   G                       A          D
Anything they can do, they clamor for me


Chorus:
G                 D
(Ohhhhh) It never changes
G               Bm
(Ohhhhh) But we carry the weight with us
G       D            A
(Ohhhhh) It's a hard world


Interlude:
D Bm A   x3
D


Verse 3:
D                   G         D
It all seems such a long time ago
     D                         G              Bm
They buried my story when they filled in that hole
       G               D
Nobody running, nobody running
G      A         Bm 
Nobody trying to explain


Middle bit:
G                   A                Bm     
I wanna wake in the woods beside the lake, just
G                        A            Bm
Resting my head, in some moss covered glen


Chorus:
G                 D
(Ohhhhh) It never changes
G               Bm
(Ohhhhh) But we carry the weight with us
G       D            A
(Ohhhhh) It's a hard world


Verse 4:
D                             G       D
Motor oil coloured hair and a white t-shirt
    D            G            Bm
Now tan from the rust and the dirt


Bridge:
       G                    D
Nobody calls for me, nobody hunts for me
     G             A        Bm   
They don't seem to know I'm gone
          G                    D
The other girls and me resting under this tree
    G          Bm          A             Bm
Are green with envy at the attention you draw


Chorus:
G                 D
(Ohhhhh) It never changes
G               Bm
(Ohhhhh) But we carry the weight with us
G       D            A
(Ohhhhh) It's a hard world
G
For the little things
       A      G
A hard world, oh oh oh
       A                Bm
A hard wor- or- or- or- old
                 A
For all the lost girls


End:
         G            D
Remember me, remember me
G                A             Bm  
underneath this lonesome awful tree
G                 A             Bm  
Let the roots and soil drink of me
           G                   Bm            A                   Bm 
Whispering leaves and pointing branches will tell them where I'm lying
