Chords

[Intro]
F
Ever carried the weight of another?

          C    
For how long?

F
I walk as far as they need to recover

          C
For how long? (ha!)
[Verse 1]
F
I want to carry a piece of who I was before
So when I hit the wall, I really hit the wall
C
I want to tear away the death again
A whiter shade of fucking meth again
F
I want to stick to clues, I want to come unglued
I want to shape the world to fit the way you move
C
Oh, should I listen for a dress size?
[Verse 2]
F                                 
I owned up, I've grown up, do you remember me?

F                                 
I showed up and so what if I'm the used to be?

C                                        
I'm here to tell you that I'm sorry I was sorry

        C                 
But I'm happy that you're happy

        C
This is no longer about me

F
Trade rules, switch sides for your beautiful eyes

F
Let him be you through your beautiful cries

        C
Let him hold you up so you can touch affordable skies

C
Live your life just like a dream

F
Without the pain of goodbyes

C
Goodbye!
[Chorus]
F
Ever carried the weight of another?

        C
For how long?

F
I walk as far as they need to recover

        C
For how long?
[Verse 3]
F
I been a drunk disrespectful little street punk

F
Unlock the back of my trunk

F
You see, you take this bat

C
And bash my head into the street again

C
No-ones around so I keep beating it

F
Pull my hair back, look me in the eye

F
There's a self-destructive meaning in the bleeding of a guy

C
It's the guilt of what reality has given me

C
Making sense of all mistakes and my stupidity
[Verse 4]
                F
And when you're sick you seem to think

F
You've failed eternally
And that the people you let in are only crumbling
            C
When you're sick of thinking life in this recovery

C
When my decision paved the road
That lies in front of me
F
So to my friends that even call but I don't call back
I want you deep inside my heart upon a hill
   C
It seems to hide sometimes and run away and wonder
I'm really sick of saying sorry but I will [Chorus]
F
Ever carried the weight of another?

        C
For how long?

F
I walk as far as they need to recover

        C
For how long?
[Bridge]
           G
But are we scared to take the ride?

    F             Fm
Or dare to look inside?

             C
I'm floating far away (far away)

             Am
I'm floating far away (leaving home)

             F
I'm floating far away (so far away)

        C
For how long?
[Verse 5]
C
I want to learn to walk with others as an equal

C
I want to treat the ones who love me with respect

               Am
I want to tell the world I'll give them all a piggyback

Am
And try to take away my negative effect

          F
I want to kiss the girl, I know I'll never lie again

          G
I want to call my dad and tell him that I care

          C
I want to let my mama know

C
He saved my life a thousand times

C
Throughout the years he's been my friend

C
Who's always there
[Outro]
F
Ever carried the weight of another?

        C
For how long?
