Weight (CHORDS) by Hands Like Houses
[Intro]~
Am F G
Am F G
[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
[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!
