[Verse]
Em Bm C G
I want to go back, forget that it's over
Em Bm C G
Painted in black, when you left me alone
Em Bm C
I never knew, she was sleeping next door
G Em Bm C
With the kid I grew up with, and I can't go back to her
G D
Anymore, no more
[Chorus]
Em C G D
You tell me you were happier with him, but you want me to stay
Em C G D
And you tell me that you needed time but you push me away
Em C G D
And when you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks
Em Bm C G
No, I can't lift the weight
[Verse]
Em Bm C G
Put you in the past, try to forget you cause it's over
Em Bm C G
And every time you ask I'll pretend I'm okay
Em Bm
You're inside my head,
C
In the middle of the night when I don't feel right
G Em Bm C G D
I dream I can hold you, and I can't go back to you anymore, yeah, yeah

And I can't lift the weight, no I can't life the weight

Yeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks

And I can't lift the weight, no I can't life the weight
C G
Yeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks
Em D
And I can't lift the weight, no I can't life the weight
