Verse:
        D          A
I carry you like a suitcase
        Bm                  G
full of boulders across the river

        D          A
I carry you like a shotgun
          Bm                        G
aimed for destruction just pull the trigger

        D          A
I carry you like a weight on

every shoulder of every I've ever cried on

        D          A
I carry you like a baby
            Bm                     G
on a lonely doorstep with a lonely light on

Chorus:
                     A
I could lay you down for good
    D    C        B
But I am not that brave
     G                 Gm        D          A G
so I carry you all the way to my grave

        D          A
I carry you like a soldier
           Bm                G
Out of the fire still in the war

        D           A
I carry you like an umbrella
        Bm                        G
full of holes so when it rains it pours

        D          A
I carry you like a dancer
            Bm                G
spinning in circles to silent music

        D          A
I carry you like a memory
              Bm                   G
Don't want to see it Don't want to lose it

Chorus:
                     A
I could lay you down for good
    D    C        B
But I am not that brave
     G                 Gm        D          A G
so I carry you all the way to my grave

Verse:
        D          A
I carry you like a letter
          Bm                G
I keep on penning and never sending

        D          A
I carry you like a cancer
     Bm            G
Ever growing never ending

        D          A
I carry you like a genome
           Bm                 G
Across the ages, the past has spoken

        D          A
I carry you down a hallway
        Bm                          G
Full of photographs, the frames all broken

Chorus:
                     A
I could lay you down for good
    D    C        B
But I am not that brave
     G                 Gm        D          A G
so I carry you all the way to my grave

I carry you
