Chords with lyrics
Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)
♫ Verse 1:
G
Let me just tell you
Cadd9 G
I really should go back to sleep
It’s not that I’m ungrateful
Cadd9 G
I have too many memories to keep
G
I wish you could feel just how
Dm G
heavy I am all the time
Sometimes when I smile,
Cadd9 G
I bite my lip so I don’t cry
♫ Chorus:
Am
And it burns
G
For a while
Am
And it hurts all the more
D7 G
When you carry the world as a child
♫ Verse 2:
G Cadd9
All that I’ve wanted is to talk
G
to someone who is dead
Cadd9
But unfortunately I can’t call him,
G
So I sing instead
G
Though I’d never tell you
Dm G
To cover yourself in a lie
Cadd9
But I will still bite my lip harder
G
So that I don’t cry
♫ Chorus:
Am
And it burns
G
For a while
Am
And it hurts all the more
D7 G
When you carry the world as a child
Am
And I burn
G
For myself
Am
Cause I know that I should
D7
When it’s screaming at me
G
To be felt
Am
And we burn
G
All the time
Am
Cause it hurts all the more
D7 G
When we carry the world as a child
