Weight of the World ------Blue October Submitted by whatiaminstead A quick note: The Bm in the chorus may be A's, you'll have to try it and let me know.

^GA blackout in the room again. ^AmA busted lip and broken skin. ^GI wake up in the bathroom

And dare not bother asking

^AmWhy the mirror's cracked and all I see Are shards of glass inside of me. ^GThere's voices there to dare me, ^AmMy father's here to scare me.

^GMy mother sits beyond the door She's curled up crying on the floor, ^AmLook at what her son's done.

When the weight of all the world's gone w^Gron^Dg. It's g^Amone wrong again. Gone so^G wrong. ^D It's g^Amone wrong again.

^GWell liars they leave a guilty trail. And let me tell you something people, ^AmI've been lying all these years. ^GThat must be wh^Amy I'm standing in this space.

^GDisregarding that I've created these monsters They sit at ^Amboth of my sides, So I wipe the bl^Good from both of their eyes. From a^Amll four of their eyes.

^GAnd while I wait for wounds to heal I see you by the window sill, ^AmYour heart's torn out

A plastic spoon When honesty lit up that room

So I sto^Gle the pillowcase to clean This mess I've made of someone’s dream. Now you've s^Ameen what I've done,

When the we^Gight of al^Dl the world's gone wrong. It's g^Amone wrong again Gone s^Go wro^Dng It’s^Am gone all wrong again.

This room is o^Gld and wise I fall onto the bed and wonder, ^Am"How did I get here?" The little boy ^Gwho would argue with a tree

Just go and thump his head!

And he'll tu^Amrn back to normal.

Now why is that what I see?

Don'^Gt bother trusting Don’^Dt bother waiting Don’^Amt bother changing things that won't give into changing Just^G let m^De go away.

I'm packed

^AmWhenever I'm down ^GWhenever.

Let's go. Yes, let's go.
