[Verse]
D            Am          C                G
  Maybe your daddy never held you like he should
D            Am             C               G
  Maybe your mama just held on the best she could


[Bridge]
Em7
 Every soul has a secret
C
  Give it away or keep it
A7                              |  C  |  D  |
  But yesterday's gone so tell me why


[Chorus]
              G                         Em7
You carry the weight, the weight of the world
                  Bm           D           Dsus4 D
It's breakin' you down on your back like a boulder
G                 Em7                  Bm
  Before it's too late, get rid of it, girl
       D           Dsus4 D
Get it off of your shoul-der
Am                   C
  I know you've been used
Am              C                       |  G  |  G  |
  But you gotta lose the weight of the world  (link)


[Verse]
D         Am             C                   G
  Maybe I haven't always been there just for you
D         Am              C               G
  Maybe I try but then, I got my own life too


[Bridge]
Em7
 Every heart has a hunger
C
  I'm not getting any younger
A7                           |  C  |  D  |
  I got all the crosses I can bear


[Chorus]
                  G                         Em7
Don't give me the weight, the weight of the world
                 Bm         D           Dsus4 D
It's breakin' me down on my back like a boulder
G                 Em7                  Bm
  Before it's too late, get rid of it, girl
       D         Dsus4 D
Get it off of my shoul-der
Am                   C
  You know I've been used
Am            C                      |  G  |  G  |
  And I gotta lose the weight of the world (link)

Bm             C              |  G  |  %  |
  It all comes down to who you crucify
    Bm              C             A7
You either kiss the future or the past goodbye
         C             [ D ]
We could fly so high  (break)

[Chorus]
                 G                         Em7
But we carry the weight, the weight of the world
                 Bm         D             Dsus4 D
It's breakin' us down on our backs like a boulder
G                 Em7                  Bm
  Before it's too late, get rid of it, girl
       D          Dsus4 D
Get it off of our shoul-ders
Am               C
  We've all been used
Am             C
  And we gotta lose


[Chorus]
                 |  G  |  Em7  |
The weight of the world
               Bm           D               Dsus4 D
It's takin' us down and the night's growin' col-der
G                  Em7                       Bm
  Just blame it on fate, that was yesterday, girl
          D            Dsus4 D
And we're just growin' ol-der
Am                 C
  We've all been abused
Am                 C                     [ G ]
  Now it's time to lose the weight of the world
