[Intro]
C Em Am
[Verse]
C Em Am
I fought a battle, I fought a war
C Em Am
I felt the rain on my face
C Em Am
Sometimes to find what you're looking for
C Em Am
You've got to learn from your worst mistakes
F C G
I made a wish on a satellite
F C G
That I mistook for a star
C Em Am
Guess when you build up to break down
C Em Am
You find out who you really are
[Chorus]
G Am
How did it all get so heavy
G Am
I used to stand up so tall
G Am
There's only so much I can carry
G F
Before I fall
G Am
And they tell me "girl you're so lucky"
G Am
"You've got the world in your hands"
G Am
But you know the world gets so heavy
G F
You don't understand
C Em Am
And that's heavy
[Verse]
C Em Am
Just tell me what's the intention
C Em Am
Is it to fall in love
C Em Am
I tried to find a connection
C Em Am
Between how it is and how it was
F C G
I made a promise I couldn't keep
F C G
Another story to tell
C Em Am
You swear to god that you know me
C Em Am
But I don't, don't even know myself
[Chorus]
G Am
How did it all get so heavy
G Am
I used to stand up so tall
G Am
There's only so much I can carry
G F
Before I fall
G Am
And they tell me "girl you're so lucky"
G Am
"You've got the world in your hands"
G Am
But you know the world gets so heavy
G F
You don't understand
C Em Am
And that's heavy
[Bridge]
N.C.
Sometimes I lay awake in bed at night
I close my eyes and all I see is see the dreams I used to dream about when I was younger
I wonder where I took the path of no return
I might've lost my way a hundred times but no I never ever lost the hunger
Oh and I know every cut and every stitch and every scar
I know they've gotten me this far, they only made me tough, they made me stronger
The limit's hard to break but I just can't get off the phone
I offer days when I was free and I would listen on the phone
[Chorus]
A Bm
It all got so heavy
A Bm
I used to stand up so tall
A Bm
There's only so much I can carry
A G
Before I fall
A Bm
They tell me "girl you're so lucky"
A Bm
"You've got the world in your hands"
A Bm
But you know the world gets so heavy
A G
You don't understand
D F#m Bm
And that's heavy, heavy
