Intro: C C Am F x3 F Verse 1:
C                        F       C
Just barely twenty with a slight frame

      C                        F           Am
And a hunger for something that I couldn't name

       F               C
I went running, I went running

F                F        C
Running barefoot into the night
Verse 2:
      C                   F          C
I got hair the color of a silkworm's dream

    C                               F        Am
The prettiest little thing that you ever did see

          F                  C
They come running, they come running

   F                       F          C
Anything they can do, they clamor for me
Chorus:
F                 C
(Ohhhhh) It never changes

F               Am
(Ohhhhh) But we carry the weight with us

F       C            F
(Ohhhhh) It's a hard world
Interlude: C Am F x3 C Verse 3:
C                   F         C
It all seems such a long time ago

     C                         F              Am
They buried my story when they filled in that hole

       F               C
Nobody running, nobody running

F      F         Am 
Nobody trying to explain
Middle bit:
F                   F                Am     
I wanna wake in the woods beside the lake, just

F                        F            Am
Resting my head, in some moss covered glen
Chorus:
F                 C
(Ohhhhh) It never changes

F               Am
(Ohhhhh) But we carry the weight with us

F       C            F
(Ohhhhh) It's a hard world
Verse 4:
C                             F       C
Motor oil coloured hair and a white t-shirt

    C            F            Am
Now tan from the rust and the dirt
Bridge:
       F                    C
Nobody calls for me, nobody hunts for me

     F             F        Am   
They don't seem to know I'm gone

          F                    C
The other girls and me resting under this tree

    F          Am          F             Am
Are green with envy at the attention you draw
Chorus:
F                 C
(Ohhhhh) It never changes

F               Am
(Ohhhhh) But we carry the weight with us

F       C            F
(Ohhhhh) It's a hard world

F
For the little things

       F      F
A hard world, oh oh oh

       F                Am
A hard wor- or- or- or- old

                 F
For all the lost girls
End:
         F            C
Remember me, remember me

F                F             Am  
underneath this lonesome awful tree

F                 F             Am  
Let the roots and soil drink of me

           F                   Am            F                   Am 
Whispering leaves and pointing branches will tell them where I'm lying
