This is an awesome song, no doubt about it. This my second
favorite SW song of all time. Beautiful guitar work, and
powerful lyrics.

The intro, bend each chord slightly. (Clean)

When it gets heavy, play this... (verses)
When you play the muted strings, place your hands at a G# chord
and mute the strings there... That will give you the correct
harmonics...

You can hear that. It's very quiet, and is played during the
verses at that very quiet part...

Thats it...
Now the words...
I'm feeling the weight of the world
And it's crushing me
I'm feeling the weight of everyday life
And it's crushing me
How much more will it take
How much more
Until it breaks me
This world... Is crushing me
I'm feeling the weight of the world
And it's crushing me
I'm feeling the weight of everyday life
And it's crushing me
How much more will it take
How much more
Until it breaks me
This world... Is crushing me
I've spent every moment since the day you left
In an attempt to rebuild a shattered remains of a pathetic life...
Working to be someone you can be proud of and someone
You can love again.
I have given you everything I have to give; everything I'm
Able to give, taking into consideration your reluctance
To accept anything I have to offer.
I'm tired of living this way for you
I'm tired of living my life for you
I'm tired of living my life in everybody else's world.
I'm tired of living my life in everyone else's world
I'm tired of protecting you
I'm tired of life I'm feeling the hate of the world
And it's crushing me
I'm feeling the hate of the world
And it's crushing me
I swallow the hate
Betrayal and lies
Swallow it whole and shove deep down inside of me
Feeling the weight of the world
And it's crushing me
And it's crushing me
And it's crushing me
Oh and it's crushing me I swallow the hate
Betrayal and lies
Swallow it whole and shove it deep down inside of me
How much more will it take
How much more until it breaks me
Feeling the weight of the world
Yes i'm feeling the weight of the world
And it's crushing me
