hey! this is my first attempt at figuring out chords to a song , so forgive me if there
are any mistakes! to be honest , it most probably will , but meh . this is the acoustic
version of the song , but if you prefer to play it with the amp and the overdrive/Gain
thingy , then it’s your choice : )
i guess it would be best to listen to the song first to figure out the strumming
pattern . . . also , i have corrected the spelling mistakes in the lyrics , but if you find
any then
please point them out to me : )

intro : – F# C# G# – F# C# G# –

A#m F#
a continent of doubt
A#m C# G#
weighs heavy on my mind
A#m F#
how long can my brittle bones bend
A#m C# G#
before they yield and snap?

A#m
i don’t wanna know
C#
’cause i’m so scared ,
A#m G# F#
it’s not gonna get easi – – er than this

– F# –
F# C# G#
because it’s too much to bear my darlin’
F# C# G#
the weight of the world ,
F# C#
and i would carry it for you ,
G#
but please don’t ask me to because the
F# C# G#
weight of the world
F# C# G#
is a burden i can’t bear .

F# C# G#
is a burden i can’t bear .

A#m F#
maybe it’s gravity
A#m C# G#
that pulls her to my chest ,
A#m F#
not the fear that she is the source
A#m C# G#
of what little strength i’ve got left ,

A#m
i don’t wanna know
C#
’cause i’m so scared ,
A#m G# F#
it’s not gonna get easi – – er than this

– F# –
F# C# G#
because it’s too much to bear my darlin’
F# C# G#
the weight of the world ,
F# C#
and i would carry it for you ,
G#
but please don’t ask me to because the
F# C# G#
weight of the world

is a burden i can’t bear .

– F# –

F# A#m G#
my horizon lies a jagged line ,
F# C# G#
oh i can clearly see ,
F# A#m G#
the mountains that i’ve yet to climb ,
C# A#m G#
i’ll get there if it kills me .

F# C# G#
because it’s too much to bear my darlin’
F# C# G#
the weight of the world ,
F# C#
and i would carry it for you ,
G#
but please don’t ask me to because the
F# C# G#
weight of the world

is a burden i can’t
F# C# G#
bear .
F# C# G#
can’t bear ,

F# C#
and i would carry it for you ,
G#
but please don’t ask me to because the
F# C# G#
weight of the world
F# ( hold )
is a burden i can’t bear .
