Then hGm7and in hAm7and we will mBbake this jFourney togCether,
And we will tDmalk of men and pBbirates, and hFeroes in the dBbark,

I don't need this weight on me; a no, no, no, no, a no, no, no, no,
He was good and he was famous and a hero to us all,
And his name was known and loved all over the world,
But the moment he's dead and buried,
They are digging up the dirt,
They've got newsmen looking through his life for mud;
I don't need this information,
I don't need it anymore,
I don't need this weight on me,
I don't need this situation,
I have heard it all before,
I don't need this weight on me; no, no, no, no...
E F#m7
For once in my life, I'm gonna stand up for truth,
E/G# Aadd9
Justice and glory forever,
B E F#m7
Had enough of the news, I've got media blues,
E/G# Aadd9 B C
To faking and lying I'm gonna say goodbye
D E
I don't need you in my life.
I don't need, I don't need,
I don't need this weight on me,
I don't need, I don't need,
I don't need this weight on me,
D G
I don't need this information,
A7
I don't need it anymore,
C D Em7
I don't need this weight on me,
G
I don't need this aggravation,
A7
I have heard it all before,
C D Em
I don't need this weight on me; no, no, no, no...

In my dream we walked, you and I to the shore,
C G Dsus4 D
Leaving footprints by the sea,
G D Am Em
And when there was just one set of prints in the sand,
C D G
That was when you carried me;

Through the thunder and the rain,
