The Weight

[Intro]  Em  Bm  C  G  D11/F#

Em      Bm       C       G         D11/F#
I want go back, forget that it's over
 Em      Bm          C       G          D11/F#
Paint it in black, when you left me alone
Em        Bm            C
I never knew, she was sleeping next door
 G                  D11/F#
With the kid I grew up with
Em     Bm               C
And I can't go back to her
G         D11/F#
Anymore, no

 Em7                  C9           G            D11/F#
You tell me you were happier with him, but you want me to stay
Em7                       C9          G       D11/F#
And you tell me that you needed time but you push me away
Em7                  C9               G                 D11/F#
And when you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks
No, I can't lift the weight

( Em  Bm  C  G  D11/F# )

 Em          Bm        C                G           D11/F#
Put you in the past, try to forget you cause it's over
Em              Bm     C            G   D11/F#
And every time you ask I'll pretend I'm okay
 Em               Bm
You're inside my head
C
In the middle of the night when I don't feel right
G              D11/F#
I dream I can hold you
Em              Bm      C  G         D11/F#
And I can't go back to you anymore, yeah, yeah

 Em7                  C9           G                 D11/F#
You tell me you were happier with him, but you want me to stay
Em7                       C9          G       D11/F#
And you tell me that you needed time but you push me away
Em7                  C9               G                 D11/F#
And when you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks

                       Em     Bm                    C     G  D11/F#
But, I can't lift the weight, and I can't lift the weight
       Em                      Bm
And I can't lift the weigh, no I can't life the weight
            C                        G              D11/F#
Yeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks
Em                             Bm
And I can't lift the weigh, no I can't life the weight
            C                        G              D11/F#
Yeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks
Em                             Bm
And I can't lift the weigh, no I can't life the weight
           C                       G             D11/F#
Yeah, you lower your standards and I raise the stakes
Em                             Bm                C
And I can't lift the weigh, no I can't life the weight

 Em7                  C9           G                 D11/F#
You tell me you were happier with him, but you want me to stay
Em7                       C9          G       D11/F#
And you tell me that you needed time but you push me away
Em7                  C9               G                 D11/F#
And when you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks
                      Em7    C9                    G    D11/F#
But I can't lift the weight, and I can't lift the weight

 Em7                  C9           G                 D11/F#
You tell me you were happier with him, but you want me to stay
Em7                       C9          G       D11/F#

Em7                  C9                G                     D11/F#
And when you try to take me back, you say someday you will change, but I don't wanna wait

( Em  Bm  C  G )
