[Intro]
 Am   F   Gx2
[Verse]
AmI'm down below where the floor is out of focus,
Fpent up and played down, Grained in and worn out
AmPicking away at the studs in the boards
FThey're all too familiar, GI've been here before.
AmThe air is like lead and I've swallowed what I've said.
FI'm a broken machine and a Gmatch already burned.
AmAnd I'm quiet, all despite the raging in my head
FCollapsed inside and out until my Gstrength can return.
[Chorus]
DmI'm undone. All I Amknow is the weight of the Cworld, so Gempty and so 
uninspirDmed. Sorrow and Amsleep and disbelCief, caught Gup in the weight of
the wAmorld.
[Interlude]
 Am   F   Gx1
[Verse]
AmI'm down below where it's silent and it's safe,
resoFunding with the question of "GWhere to, from here?"
I Amknow my direction, I know what it takes,
but I'm Fweak and I'm weightless with Geverything to fear.
I Amwrite about what's real to me when all I feel is make believe,
but I Fwon't say there's nothing left, there's Geverything, but just out
of Amreach.
[Chorus]
DmI'm undone. All I Amknow is the weight of the Cworld, so Gempty and so 
uninspirDmed. Sorrow and Amsleep and disbelCief, caught Gup in the weight of
the wAmorld.
[Bridge]
But IC'm not GhelplesDms;
IC'm not GhopelesFs.
But CI don't belGieve in Dmhope on it's own, no Cspine and no sGubstanceAm.
[Chorus]
DmI'm undone. All I Amknow is the weight of the Cworld, so Gempty and so 
uninspirDmed. Sorrow and Amsleep and disbelCief, caught Gup in the weight of
the wAmorld.
[Outro]
AmIt's time to see the floor sink around me, Fpushed down with my two bare hands and
Amnow I'm stronger for whatever comes. FLet the blood rush, Gas I rise to
my Amfeet.

[Intro]

Am F G

[Verse]

I'm down below where the floor is out of focus,

F G

pent up and played down, rained in and worn out

Picking away at the studs in the boards

F G

They're all too familiar, I've been here before.

The air is like lead and I've swallowed what I've said.

F G

I'm a broken machine and a match already burned.

And I'm quiet, all despite the raging in my head

F G

Collapsed inside and out until my strength can return.

[Chorus]

Dm Am C G

I'm undone. All I know is the weight of the world, so empty and so

Dm Am C G

uninspired. Sorrow and sleep and disbelief, caught up in the weight of

the world.

[Interlude]

Am F G

[Verse]

I'm down below where it's silent and it's safe,

F G

resounding with the question of "Where to, from here?"

I know my direction, I know what it takes,

F G

but I'm weak and I'm weightless with everything to fear.

I write about what's real to me when all I feel is make believe,

F G

but I won't say there's nothing left, there's everything, but just out

of reach.

[Chorus]

Dm Am C G

I'm undone. All I know is the weight of the world, so empty and so

Dm Am C G

uninspired. Sorrow and sleep and disbelief, caught up in the weight of

the world.

[Bridge]

C G Dm

But I'm not helpless;

C G F

I'm not hopeless.

C G Dm C G Am

But I don't believe in hope on it's own, no spine and no substance.

[Chorus]

Dm Am C G

I'm undone. All I know is the weight of the world, so empty and so

Dm Am C G

uninspired. Sorrow and sleep and disbelief, caught up in the weight of

the world.

[Outro]

Am F

It's time to see the floor sink around me, pushed down with my two bare hands and

Am F G

now I'm stronger for whatever comes. Let the blood rush, as I rise to

my feet.
