Intro:     Am    G    C    F  (2x) 


 Am                G                  C 
 No I won't break and I won't bend 
        F 
 Look who's now the fireman 
Am                   G                C 
 I won't stop, I'll never get caught 
       F 
 Can soon rest my heart again 
Am                G                C 
 And I know it's gonna get cold 
      F 
 But babe my hands are woolen 
Am                 G                 C 
 You stole every piece of my soul 
        F 
 Look who's now the porcelain 

F 
 You say more 

 You say more 
Dm 
 You kill every little bit of my core 
C 
 You can't hide, you can't hide 
G 
 You can't keep it all tucked inside 


      Am                        F 
 The weight of the war's been knocking my door 
             C                G 
 And you'll see it's got the best of me 
      Am                        F 
 The weight of the war's gotta settle my score 
           C               G          F 
 But it's fine, please release me 
                Am 
 Please release me 


 Am    G    C    F  


Am             G                C 
 My eyes are ahead of my time 
            F 
 But I've broken the rule again 
Am                     G               C 
 I never knew I could lose my drive 
    F 
 I can't trust where my heart has been 
Am                 G                C 
 And I'm fine I'm set in my mind 
       F 
 Still I can't believe in you 
Am                       G                 C 
 'Cause you stole every bit and you knew 
      F 
 All of me is black and blue 

F 
 You say more 

 You say more 
Dm 
 You kill every little bit of my core 
C 
 You can't hide, you can't hide 
G 
 You can't keep it all tucked inside 


      Am                        F 
 The weight of the war's been knocking my door 
             C                G 
 And you'll see it's got the best of me 
      Am                        F 
 The weight of the war's gotta settle my score 
           C               G          F 
 But it's fine, please release me 
   

C                       Am 
 Instead of where I've been 
                       F 
 I'm looking where I step 
                       Bb 
 Instead of hitting a wall 
                       C 
 I'm looking where I slipped 
                      G 
 And then I find the pain 
                    F 
 It hits me when I call 
        G 
 And I call 


      Am                        F 
 The weight of the war's been knocking my door 
             C                G 
 And you'll see it's got the best of me 
      Am                        F 
 The weight of the war's gotta settle my score 
           C               G           
 But it's fine, please release me 


Am 
 You say more 
F 
 You say more 
C                       G 
 You kill every little bit of my core 
Am              F 
 You can't hide, you can't hide 
C                       G 
 You can't keep it all tucked inside 


      Am                        F 
 The weight of the war's been knocking my door 
             C                G 
 And you'll see it's got the best of me 
      Am                        F 
 The weight of the war's gotta settle my score 
           C                 G           
 But it's fine, so please release me

 The weight of the war 
              G                  Am    G    C

 Weight of the war
