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 some spelling mistakes in the lyrics, but if you find
any then
please point them out to me :)

Note: If you for search the live acoustic version on YouTube, you'll find that it sounds 
different to the actual song. These chords are for the acoustic, not the original song.

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#                     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.
