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