🎸 Verse 1:
A           E B
Cold caller
            A                 B
I felt like one my whole life
A            E B
Up all night
             A                       B
Begging some stranger to stay on the line
          A                      B
So when I met you and I tried to sell you
         A             B
On every reason not to leave
                A
You told me you want this
                 B
And you're being honest
             A          B
So I'm gonna let myself believe

🎸 Chorus: 
A    B       C#m
  I finally get it
                           A
You're not gonna hang it up
                              B  A
You're not gonna hang up the pho-one
                    C#m
And I thought I was dead weight
                       A
But you wanna carry me
                   B  A  B
You wanna carry me ho-ome

🎸 Verse 2:
A           B
Free falling
           A                       B
Hoping the ground won't get in the way
        A        B
Likе an old habit
                          A             B
'Cause I've got used to loving at arms lеngth
    A                B
But now I'm starting over
        A               B
Feeling lighter, coming closer

Oh, oh

🎸 Chorus: 
A    B       C#m
  I finally get it
                           A
You're not gonna hang it up
                              B  A
You're not gonna hang up the pho-one
                    C#m
And I thought I was dead weight
                       A
But you wanna carry me
                   B
You wanna carry me ho-ome

🎸 Bridge: 
A            B
I'm so much lighter now I
A            B         A
I'm so much higher, oh
                B   C#m
And I thought I was dead weight
                      A
But you wanna carry me
                       B
You wanna carry me home

(riff)
A B A B A B A B

🎸 Chorus: 
A    B       C#m
  I finally get it
                           A
You're not gonna hang it up

You're not gonna hang up-
A     B             C#m
And I thought I was dead weight
                       A
But you wanna carry me

You wanna carry me ho-ome

I'm so much higher, oh
A            B
I'm so much lighter now I
A            B         A
I'm so much higher, oh

🎸 Outro: 
A           E B
Cold caller
            A                 B
I felt like one my whole life
