Verse
Am D Am D
Gm I a fool? Is my hoping in vain?
Am D Am D
I planted the seed of a shading tree, but I'm standing in the rain
Am D Am D
Gm I fool? How can it be
Am D Am D
I keep picking the scab of an old wound just to watch it bleed
[Chorus]
F E Am
and it's so heavy, too heavy to hold
[Verse]
Am D Am D
I watch my cup, fill up with doubt
Am D Am D
I keep drinking it up, you keep pouring it out
Am D Am D
You push so hard and I push back
Am D Am D
before I've even turned around your sights are set aimed and ready to attack
[Chorus]
F E Am
and it's so heavy too heavy to hold
F E Am
it's so heavy too heavy to hold
[Bridge]
F E
I can't catch up
F E
there's not enough time
F E
we are so disconnected, discontented disappointed 'cause we lack connection
F
with each other and with the earth
E
ignorantly thinking this is how it works
F
our lives have no meaning but defeat the machine
E
repelling sadness and pain with the swip of a screen
F
people closing their mind, sewing their third eye shut
E C A
measuring what with money? and things they have not
[Chorus]
F E Am
and it's just so heavy, too heavy to hold
F E Am
it's just so heavy, too heavy to hold
[Outro]
Am D Am D
Gm I a fool? Is my hoping in vain?
