BbThat the Fsky would lift,Bb  
That I'd fDmind my place,Bb  
That I'd sFee your facBbe in the dooDmrBb  
And the Fsun would glintBb  
On a tDmime well spent,Bb  
On a tFime that ainBb't no morDme.Bb  
Chords continue
Taste the broken hearts
In the vacant lots
See the fruit that rots on the trees
Try to turn my head
Leave it all for dead
But it's in my mind always
Honey lately I've been way down
A load on my mind
Honey lately I've been way down
Load on my mind
Chorus:
SomCeone tell me where did it goBb,
Darling I'm daDmmned if i knCow
I seen that look in your eyeDm7  Bb  
NoC-one ever gave it a chanceBb  
I could have sDmaid in advaCnce
You saw it all at a glancDme
And goodBbmaj9bye.
"Back to F,Bb,Dm,Bb"
Drag a salted kiss
From this cup of bliss
Watch a new lie twist on the breeze
You can paint it red
Leave it all for dead
But it's in my head always
Honey lately I've been way down
Load on my mind
Honey lately I've been way down
Load on my mind
Someone tell me where did it go
Darling I'm damned if i know
I seen that look in your eye
No-one ever gave it a chance
I could have said in advance
You saw it all at a glance
And goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Honey lately I've been way down
Honey lately I've been way down
Honey lately I've been way down
Honey lately I've been way down

Honey lately I've been way down

Load on my mind
