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