[Chorus]
A                   
And I go drinking in
     Bm7
 the park
C#m7                 
But I guess I'm not a
  Bm7
 kid no more
A                 Bm7
I spent all of my money 
on love
C#m7            Bm7         A
Like it's a liquor store (Eh)
A        Bm7
Maybe I just miss you, baby
C#m7          Bm7
Cheap thrills don't
 save me no more
A             Bm7
Drinking in the dark

How did shit get so H-E-A-V-Y?

[Verse 2]
A                       
You said you'd catch me 
 (A6) A
like a butterfly
A                       
How can you love someone
 (A6) A
 and watch 'em die?
Bm7                      
I'm aware, I got no halo 
         (Bm7add4) Bm7
round my head
Bm7                        
You're not my blood but you 
            E      D
were family like mum and dad
A                        A4
How could you see me drowning
 and not even stop it?
A                        A4
Even worse you were the one 
that fucked me and caused it
Bm7
Now I'm the one that
 holds an empty hand
Bm7                    
I guess you never were 
          A
my superman

How to play Heavy: key, chords and progression

Heavy by Bow Anderson is centred on A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). The song uses 9 chords: A, A6, Bm7, Bm7add4, D, C#m7, E7, E and A4.

The progression the song keeps returning to is A – Bm7 – C#m7 – Bm7 (I – ii7 – iii7 – ii7 in A major). In solfa, that is doh – reh – mi – reh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: Bm7, Bm7add4 and C#m7 are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
