Weight Of The World (acoustic) chords

Weight Of The World (acoustic)

• F#

Hey! This is my first attempt at figuring out chords to a song, so forgive me if there 
are any mistakes! To be honest, it most probably will, but meh. This is the acoustic 
version of the song, but if you prefer to play it with the amp and the overdrive/gain  
thingy, then it's your choice :) 
I guess it would be best to listen to the song first to figure out the strumming 
pattern... Also, I have corrected the spelling mistakes in the lyrics, but if you find  
any then 
please point them out to me :)

Intro: - F# C# G# - F# C# G# - 

Bbm                F# 
   A continent of doubt 
          Bbm     C#     G# 
   Weighs heavy   on my mind 
Bbm                  F# 
   How long can my brittle bones bend 
      Bbm       C#        G# 
   Before they yield and snap? 

                  Bbm 
   I don't wanna know 
                   C# 
   'Cause I'm so scared, 
                      A#m   G#       F# 
   It's not gonna get easi--er than this 

 - F# - 
                 F#         C#       G# 
   Because it's too much to bear my darlin' 
   F#         C#      G# 
   The weight of the world, 
               F#           C# 
   And I would carry it for you, 
             G# 
   But please don't ask me to because the 
F#        C#     G# 
   Weight of the world 
                          F#     C#     G# 
   Is a burden I can't bear. 

                          F#     C#     G# 
   Is a burden I can't bear. 


Bbm                 F# 
   Maybe it's gravity 
        Bbm       C#      G# 
   That pulls her to my chest, 
Bbm                   F# 
   Not the fear that she is the source 
                  Bbm  C#                 G# 
   Of what little   strength I've got left, 

                  Bbm 
   I don't wanna know 
                  C# 
   'Cause I'm so scared, 
                      A#m   G#     F# 
   It's not gonna get easi--er than this 

 - F# - 
                F#          C#       G# 
   Because it's too much to bear my darlin' 
F#            C#      G# 
   The weight of the world, 
               F#           C# 
   And I would carry it for you, 
        G# 
   But please don't ask me to because the 
F#        C#     G# 
   Weight of the world 

   Is a burden I can't bear. 

 - F# - 

 F#                     A#m   G# 
   My horizon lies a jagged   line, 
 F#          C#     G# 
   Oh I can clearly see, 
 F#                        A#m    G# 
   The mountains that I've yet to climb, 
         C#       A#m     G# 
   I'll get there if it   kills me. 


               F#           C#       G# 
   Because it's too much to bear my darlin' 
F#            C#      G# 
   The weight of the world, 
               F#           C# 
   And I would carry it for you, 
        G# 
   But please don't ask me to because the 
F#        C#     G# 
   Weight of the world 

   Is a burden I can't 
      F#       C#     G# 
   Bear. 
            F#      C#     G# 
   Can't bear, 

               F#            C# 
   And I would carry it for you, 
         G# 
   But please don't ask me to because the 
F#         C#     G# 
   Weight of the world 
                          F# (hold) 
   Is a burden I can't bear.
