A majorA
Can't you see I'm holding your flag
A majorA
The one that you left on the ground
     E minor 7Em7                         A majorA
Well is the world too heavy for you
      E minor 7Em7                          D MajorD
If it makes you feel better, I'll carry it, too
A majorA
No one's gonna stand in your light
A majorA
Impressions are easy to fight
      E minor 7Em7                    A majorA
But until you turn to me and say
          E minor 7Em7             D MajorD
You don't need anyone to carry the weight, I will stay

Can't you see I'm wearing your shirt
A majorA
The one with the heart on the sleeves
    E minor 7Em7                           A majorA
Now everyone can see you've been hurt
       E minor 7Em7              D MajorD
Oh but honey don't give up on me
A majorA
When you gonna make up your mind
A majorA
When you gonna get out of bed

Well everyday you're gonna find
