And let 'em go back to thinkin' they made me
G A
They only see what they want to see

verse 3
Bm
Heavy is the weight
Bm
I don't wanna wait
Bm
For them all to be good
Bm
When I wanna be great
Bm
Yeah, I know about pressure
Bm
Yeah, I know about stressin'
Bm
Worried if I'll lose everything invested
Bm
And I know about workin' when I'm hardly rested
Bm
Like, am I in tune with what I'm destined for?
Bm
Been carrying this weight for so long
Bm
Didn't even notice that my back was so strong
Bm
I can probably put a boat on it with no problem
Bm
The show must go on

Heavy is the weight that I hold

Heavy is the weight
A
The weight that I hold
