C Em Am

[Verse] 
C           Em        Am
I fought a battle, I fought a war
C           Em         Am
I felt the rain on my face
C             Em                Am
Sometimes to find what you're looking for
                C               Em      Am
You've got to learn from your worst mistakes
F         C          G
I made a wish on a satellite
F        C            G
That I mistook for a star
C                Em          Am
Guess when you build up to break down
              C       Em     Am
You find out who you really are

[Chorus]
            G           Am
How did it all get so heavy
            G           Am
I used to stand up so tall
                 G          Am
There's only so much I can carry
 G        F 
Before I fall
                   G              Am
And they tell me "girl you're so lucky"
                  G             Am
"You've got the world in your hands"
                   G            Am
But you know the world gets so heavy
           G      F
You don't understand
                   C Em Am 
And that's heavy

[Verse]
C             Em         Am 
Just tell me what's the intention
C         Em      Am
Is it to fall in love
C            Em      Am
I tried to find a connection
          C            Em     Am
Between how it is and how it was
F          C           G
I made a promise I couldn't keep
F         C       G
Another story to tell
C              Em          Am
You swear to god that you know me
    C               Em    Am    
But I don't, don't even know myself

[Chorus]
            G           Am
How did it all get so heavy
            G           Am
I used to stand up so tall
                 G          Am
There's only so much I can carry
 G        F 
Before I fall
                   G              Am
And they tell me "girl you're so lucky"
                  G             Am
"You've got the world in your hands"
                   G            Am
But you know the world gets so heavy
           G      F
You don't understand
                   C Em Am 
And that's heavy

[Bridge]
N.C.
Sometimes I lay awake in bed at night
I close my eyes and all I see is see the dreams I used to dream about when I was younger
I wonder where I took the path of no return
I might've lost my way a hundred times but no I never ever lost the hunger 
Oh and I know every cut and every stitch and every scar
I know they've gotten me this far, they only made me tough, they made me stronger
But when it's hard to breathe, and I just can't get off the floor
I long for days when I was free, a life I lived so long before

[Chorus]
    A           Bm
It all got so heavy
            A          Bm
I used to stand up so tall
                 A           Bm
There's only so much I can carry
    A      G
Before I fall
               A              Bm
They tell me "girl you're so lucky"
                  A            Bm
"You've got the world in your hands"
                   A            Bm
But you know the world gets so heavy
        A        G
You don't understand
                          D F#m Bm
And that's heavy, heavy
