Intro (x2): Am Dm E7 Am G

Verse 1:
Am            Dm
  The last man standing
      E7           Am
in our sinister charade
Am          Dm
beneath the crumbling arches
E7            Am
of our counterfeit arcade
Am         Dm
  He nobly knelt before us
E7           Am
  He sang our savior's Chorus
Am             Dm              E7
   We left him spinning bloody plates
         Am
Upon his broken blade

Chorus:
Am              Dm
That's just the weight of the world
E7               Dm      E7
   We do what we must to get by

The weak and the weary will never survive
Am              Dm
That's just the weight of the world

Am              Dm
That's just the weight of the world
      E7                      Dm    Am
We'll all be the weak and the weary some time

Verse 2:
Am         Dm
  One woman whistling
  E7           Am
a wounded lullaby
Am               Dm
   And preaching pain to every
E7           Am
Unsuspecting passerby
Am             Dm
   We knew her well before this
E7             Am
   She promised portraits of us
Am            Dm
   We cut her throat while
        E7              Am
She was waiting for the paint to dry

Chorus:
Am              Dm
That's just the weight of the world

Bridge:
Am            Dm
   And in the distance we’ll
E         Am
Hear melancholy moans
Am Dm E Am E Am             Dm
                The long forgotten have
  E            Am
a habit for collecting loans
Am Dm E Am
            But
