The Weight- Shawn Mendes
Capo 3rd fret.
[Intro]
Em C9 G D/F#
[Verse 1]
Em Bm C G D/F#
I want to go back, forget that it's over
Em Bm C G D/F#
Painted in black, when you left me alone
Em Bm C
I never knew, she was sleeping next door
G D/F# Em Bm C
With the kid I grew up with, and I can't go back to her
G D/F#
Anymore, no more
[Chorus]
Em Cadd9 G D/F#
You tell me you were happier with him, you want me to stay
Em Cadd9 G D/F#
And you tell me that you needed time but you push me away
Em Cadd9 G D/F#
But when you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks
Em Cadd9 G D/F#
No, I can't lift the weight
[Verse 2]
Em Bm C G D/F#
Put you in the past, try to forget you cause it's over
Em Bm C G D/F#
And every time you ask I'll pretend I'm okay
Em Bm
You're inside my head,
C G
In the middle of the night when I don't feel right
D/F# Em Bm C G D/F#
I dream I can hold you, and I can't go back to you anymore, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Em Cadd9 G D/F#
You tell me you were happier with him, you want me to stay
Em Cadd9 G D/F#
And you tell me that you needed time but you push me away
Em Cadd9 G D/F#
But when you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks
Em Cadd9
But, I can't lift the weight,
G D/F#
and I can't lift the weight
[Verse 3]
Em Bm
And I can't lift the weigh, no I can't life the weight
C G D/F#
Yeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks
Em Bm
And I can't lift the weigh, no I can't life the weight
C G D/F#
Yeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks
Em Bm
And I can't lift the weigh, no I can't life the weight
C G D/F#
Yeah, you lower your standards and I raise the stakes
Em Bm C G D/F#
And I can't lift the weigh, no I can't life the weight
[Chorus]
Em Cadd9 G D/F#
You tell me you were happier with him, you want me to stay
Em Cadd9 G D/F#
And you tell me that you needed time but you push me away
Em Cadd9 G D/F#
But when you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks
Em Cadd9
But, I can't lift the weight,
G D/F#
and I can't lift the weight
Em C G D/F#
You tell me you were happier with him, you want me to stay
Em C G D/F#
And you tell me that you needed time but you push me away
Em C G D/F#
But when you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks
Em C
But, I can't lift the weight,
G D/F#
but I don't wanna wait
