Weight of the World

guitar chords lyrics

Young Guns

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# -

Bbm F#
A continent of doubt
Bbm C# G#
Weighs heavy on my mind
Bbm F#
How long can my brittle bones bend
Bbm C# G#
Before they yield and snap?

Bbm
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.


Bbm F#
Maybe it's gravity
Bbm C# G#
That pulls her to my chest,
Bbm F#
Not the fear that she is the source
Bbm C# G#
Of what little strength I've got left,

Bbm
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.
