[Verse]
A
Can't you see I'm holding your flag
A
The one that you left on the ground
     Em7                         A
Well is the world too heavy for you
      Em7                          D
If it makes you feel better, I'll carry it, too
A
No one's gonna stand in your light
A
Impressions are easy to fight
      Em7                    A
But until you turn to me and say
          Em7             D
You don't need anyone to carry the weight, I will stay

Isn't it good to be free
A
Can't you see I'm wearing your shirt
A
The one with the heart on the sleeves
    Em7                           A
Now everyone can see you've been hurt
       Em7              D
Oh but honey don't give up on me
A
When you gonna make up your mind
A
When you gonna get out of bed
     Em7                    A
Well everyday you're gonna find
        Em7         D
Broken promises are no worse than words never said

Then you want someone to come along and save the day
