[Intro]
Am F G x2
[Verse]
Am I'm down below where the floor is out of focus, F G pent up and played down, rained in and worn out Am Picking away at the studs in the boards F G They're all too familiar, I've been here before. Am The air is like lead and I've swallowed what I've said. F G I'm a broken machine and a match already burned. Am And I'm quiet, all despite the raging in my head F G Collapsed inside and out until my strength can return.
[Chorus]
Dm Am C G I'm undone. All I know is the weight of the world, so empty and so Dm Am C G uninspired. Sorrow and sleep and disbelief, caught up in the weight of Am the world.
[Interlude]
Am F G x1
[Verse]
Am I'm down below where it's silent and it's safe, F G resounding with the question of "Where to, from here?" Am I know my direction, I know what it takes, F G but I'm weak and I'm weightless with everything to fear. Am I write about what's real to me when all I feel is make believe, F G but I won't say there's nothing left, there's everything, but just out Am of reach.
[Chorus]
Dm Am C G I'm undone. All I know is the weight of the world, so empty and so Dm Am C G uninspired. Sorrow and sleep and disbelief, caught up in the weight of Am the world.
[Bridge]
C G Dm But I'm not helpless; C G F I'm not hopeless. C G Dm C G Am But I don't believe in hope on it's own, no spine and no substance.
[Chorus]
Dm Am C G I'm undone. All I know is the weight of the world, so empty and so Dm Am C G uninspired. Sorrow and sleep and disbelief, caught up in the weight of Am the world.
[Outro]
Am F It's time to see the floor sink around me, pushed down with my two bare hands and Am F G now I'm stronger for whatever comes. Let the blood rush, as I rise to Am my feet.
