[Verse 1]
    G
You carry the weight
        D
of the world
   G
It weighs down your
                D
smile and your curls
    G
You run on a fraction
    D
 of what you deserve
    G
You carry the weight
        D
of the world

[Verse 2]
  G
I know that this life
          D
 got you down
    G
The sun keeps on
              D
 shutting you out
G
Slave to the pavement,
      D
and lost in the crowd
  G
I know that this
              D
life got you down
