Verse:
Am Am F#m F#m
Took the fireworks and the vanity
F F C C
The circuit board and the city streets
F F C C
Shooting stars, swaying palm tree
G G Am Am
Laid it at the Arbiters feet
Am Am F#m F#m
If I could change my mind, change the paradigm
F F C C
Prepare myself for another life
F F C C
Forgive myself for the many times
G G Am Am
I was cruel to something helpless and weak

Chorus:
F F G G
But here it come, that heavy love
C C Am Am
I’m never gonna move it alone
F F G G
Here it come, that heavy love
C C Am Am
Tag it on a tenement wall
F F G G
Here it come that heavy love
E7/Ab E7/Ab Am Am
Someone gotta share in the load
F F G G
Oh here it come that heavy love
F F G G C C...
I’m never gonna move it alone

Verse:
I was dressed in white
Touched by something pure
death obsessed like a teenager
Sold my tortured youth, pissed in vinegar
I’m still angry with no reason to be
At the architect who imagined this
For the everyman blessed Sisyphus
Slipping steadily into madness
Now that’s the only place to be free

Chorus:
But here it come, that heavy love
You’re never gonna move it alone
Here it come, that heavy love
Tattooed on a criminals arm
Here it come that heavy love
Someone gotta share in the load
Oh here it come that heavy love
You’re never gonna move it alone

Instrumental
C5-G5-F5-E5 (listen to song for rhythm)

Am Am C C F F C C F F Am Am G G (play chords in the normal pattern)

Am Am Bbm7 Bbm7 C C
No I don’t want to play
F F C C F F G G
It’s a shell game, it’s a shell game.

Bridge/Verse:
Am Am F#m F#m
Distorted sounds on oscilloscopes
F F C C
Distorted facts I could never cope
F F C C
My private life is an inside joke.
G G Am Am
No one will explain it to me
Am Am F#m F#m
Will it be everything that we ever need
F F C C
Everyone on the count of three,
F F C C
Everyone on the count of three
G G
All together now.

Chorus:
But here it come, that heavy love
We’re never gonna move it alone
Here it come, that heavy love
Playing as the cylinder rolls
Here it come that heavy love
I only wanna share in the load
Oh here it come that heavy love
I’m never gonna move it alone
