Thrice – The Weight (Ukulele)

        Em                           Am
There's many who'll tell you they'll give you their love

    C                               Em
But when they say "give" they mean "take"

        Em                                  Am
They'll hang 'round just like vultures 'til push comes to shove

        C                                    Em
They'll take flight when the Earth starts to shake

Em                           Am
Someone may say that they'll always be true

     C                           Em
Then slip out the door 'fore the dawn

      D     C         G       Em
But I won't leave you hangin' on

Em                         Am
Another may stay 'til they find someone new

C                               Em
Then before you know they'll be gone

      D     C         G       Em
But I won't leave you hangin' on

      D        C        G       Em
No, I won't, I won't be that someone

Em            Am            G             Am
And come what may, I won't abandon you or leave you behind

Em                D                    Am            C
Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment

Em            Am             G              Am    
And come what may, I will be standing right here by your side

        Em   D                               Am                C          Em
I won't run away, though the storm's getting worse and there's no end in sight

Em                    Am
Some talk of destiny, others of fate

    C                          Em
But soon they'll be sayin' goodbye

      D     C         G        Em
But I won't leave you high and dry

         Em                             Am
'cause a ring don't mean nothing if you can't haul the weight

    C                       Em
And some of them don't even try

      D     C         G        Em
But I won't leave you high and dry

  D     C         Am        Em
I won't leave you wondering why

Em            Am            G             Am
And come what may, I won't abandon you or leave you behind

Em                D                    Am            C
Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment

Em            Am             G              Am   
And come what may, I will be standing right here by your side

        Em   D                               Am                C          Em
I won't run away, though the storm's getting worse and there's no end in sight

Am                     G
And storms will surely come

         Am
But true love is a choice you must make

               G       Am                      Em
And you're the one that I have set my heart to choose

             C       Am                  Em
As long as I live, I swear I'll see this through

Em            Am            G             Am
And come what may, I won't abandon you or leave you behind

Em                D                    Am            C
Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment

Em            Am             G              Am   
And come what may, I will be standing right here by your side

        Em   D                               Am                C
I won't run away, though the storm's getting worse and there's no end in sight
