Chords with lyrics

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Intro:
C C/E F9 (2x)

Verse 1:
     C       F9      C
I feel a weight that's heavier these days
     G/B   F9            Gadd9
No, I am not quite hurting, but I think that I'm in pain
     C        F9       C
I look at photographs of myself and they insist
    G/B  C/E        F9
There's nothing wrong but if there isn't
    Gadd9     C
Why am I writing this song?

Chorus:
   F9   C   G/B C
I was told to love my body
        F9      C     G/B
'Cause it's the only one that I'll ever get
     F9       C       G/B
No, it's not what people see, it is the mind
     C    G/B   F9
Inside of me that weighs me down
      Gadd9          C C/E F9 (2x)
So each day I'll try to do it better

Verse 2:

  C     F9       C
The world is a mountain of its problems
     F9             C
And your worries start to feel very small
        C         F9     C    G/B C/E
But there is a kid locked in the toilet all wrecked with guilt
  F9       Gadd9          C
Don't tell me that doesn't matter to you at all

Chorus:
   F9   C   G/B C
I was told to love my body
        F9      C     G/B
'Cause it's the only one that I'll ever get
     F9       C       G/B
No, it's not what people see, it is the soul
     C    G/B   F9
Inside of me that keeps me whole
        Gadd9         C C/E F9 (2x)
So each day I'll try to do it better

Bridge:
    F9       C        G/B      C
I'm so afraid to talk about it, others might not understand
  G/B  F9         C    G/B
The way I don't know how it's like to be somebody else
F9     C          G/B     C
O' Lord, I pray that they won't take me in my sleep
  G/B   F9      Gadd9        C C/E F9 (2x)
But don't we all have our demons running deep

Verse 3:
    C        F9        C
I saw a blind man on the streets the other day
      G/B F9              Gadd9
I swear oh how I wish I could've rescued him away
     C       F9     C G/B C/E
But in my eyes oh I was crying down on my  knees
  F9      Gadd9    C
And everything is changed for me

Chorus:
   F9   C   G/B C
I was told to love my body
        F9      C     G/B
'Cause it's the only one that I'll ever get
     F9       C       G/B
No, it's not what people see, it is the heart
     C    G/B  F9
Inside of me that makes a man
         Gadd9
So each day I'll try

   F9   C   G/B C
I was told to love my body
        F9      C     G/B
'Cause it's the only one that I'll ever get
    F9      C         G/B
I have everything I need from a sound mind
      C     G/B  F9
To working feet that make me whole
         Gadd9        C C/E F9
So each day I'll try to do it better
        C C/E F9
To do it better
        C
To do it better
