D#A# Go write down what you see
CG And see how far it can go

What's the weight of the world worth to ya, kid Go write down what you see And see how far it can go What's the weight of the world worth to your side Here is where you got lost And here is how you got by
And here's the mutiny I promised you And here's the party it turned into And here's the mutiny I promised you And here's the moment it turned into
