Heavy Stephen Stanley

1 Verse:
 G               Am            C
Everything’s a mess right now
                     G
Not the way it’s supposed to be
                    Am            C
It’s hard to see a God that’s good
                               G
In a world that’s full of tragedy  
 
Pre Chorus:
            G
'Cause my head pounds with questions
          Am
These thoughts won’t go away
     C                                        G
And all I’ve got left are the words I never say  
 
Chorus:
                          G
Why’s it gotta feel so heavy?
                           Am
Why’s it gotta break my heart?
                       C
Why is everybody so empty?
                           G
Why do good things fall apart?
                                  G
I know there’s gotta be some answers
                                Am
Somebody’s gotta tell me the truth
                       C
Why’s it gotta be so heavy?
                         G
God I gotta give it to You  
 
2 Verse:
  G                    Am
These eyes distort reality
 C                   G
The madness only weighs me down
                       Am
My soul’s living in poverty
 C                    G
Oh God have you been holding out  
 
Pre Chorus:
            G
'Cause my head pounds with questions
          Am
These thoughts won’t go away
     C                                        G
And all I’ve got left are the words I never say  
 
Chorus:
                          G
Why’s it gotta feel so heavy?
                           Am
Why’s it gotta break my heart?
                       C
Why is everybody so empty?
                           G
Why do good things fall apart?
                                  G
I know there’s gotta be some answers
                                Am
Somebody’s gotta tell me the truth
                       C
Why’s it gotta be so heavy?
                         G
God I gotta give it to You  
 
Bridge:
      G
I surrender
      Am
I surrender
       C
I surrender
                         G
Even when it ain’t so easy
      G
I surrender
       Am
I surrender
      C
I surrender
                        G
In the letting go you free me  
 
Chorus:
                          G
Why’s it gotta feel so heavy?
                           Am
Why’s it gotta break my heart?
                       C
Why is everybody so empty?
                           G
Why do good things fall apart?
                          G
Why’s it gotta feel so heavy?
                           Am
Why do good things fall apart?
                          C
Why’s it gotta feel so heavy?
                         G
God I gotta give it to You
                         G
God I gotta give it to You
