Weight of the World

Submitted by whatiaminstead

A quick note: The Bm in the chorus may be A's, you'll have to try it and let me know. 


A
A blackout in the room again.
Bm
A busted lip and broken skin.
A
I wake up in the bathroom 

And dare not bother asking
Bm
Why the mirror's cracked and all I see 

Are shards of glass inside of me.
A
There's voices there to dare me,
Bm
My father's here to scare me.

A
My mother sits beyond the door 

She's curled up crying on the floor,
Bm
Look at what her son's done.

                                         A	E
When the weight of all the world's gone wrong.
	    Bm
It's gone wrong again.
	     A         E
Gone so wrong.
	    Bm
It's gone wrong again.


A
Well liars they leave a guilty trail.

And let me tell you something people, 
Bm
I've been lying all these years.
A							Bm
That must be why I'm standing in this space.

A
Disregarding that I've created these monsters
            Bm
They sit at both of my sides,
						    A
So I wipe the blood from both of their eyes.
			Bm
From all four of their eyes.

A
And while I wait for wounds to heal

I see you by the window sill,
Bm
Your heart's torn out

A plastic spoon

When honesty lit up that room 
        A
So I stole the pillowcase to clean

This mess I've made of someone’s dream.
            Bm
Now you've seen what I've done,

					 A         E
When the weight of all the world's gone wrong.
	    Bm
It's gone wrong again
	    A		E
Gone so wrong
		Bm
It’s gone all wrong again.

              A
This room is old and wise
   
I fall onto the bed and wonder,
Bm
"How did I get here?"
				       A
The little boy who would argue with a tree

Just go and thump his head!

			      Bm
And he'll turn back to normal.


Now why is that what I see?
		A
Don't bother trusting
		E
Don’t bother waiting
		Bm
Don’t bother changing things that won't give into changing
		A     E
Just let me go away.
     
I'm packed
Bm
Whenever

I'm down
A
Whenever.

Let's go.

Yes, let's go.
