[verse]
G
Let me just tell you
      C                    G    C
I really should go back to sleep
         G
It’s not that I’m ungrateful
  C                    G        C
I have too many memories to keep
  G
I wish you could feel just
      Dm       G           C
how heavy I am all the time
    G
Sometimes when I smile
   C              G         C
I bite my lip so I don’t cry

[chorus]
       Am D7
And it burns
      G    C  G
For a while
        Am
And it hurts all the more
           D                      G  C  G
When you carry the world as a child

[verse]
G
All that I’ve wanted is to
 C                   G     C
talk to someone who is dead
      G
But unfortunately
          C                 G     C
I can’t call him so I sing instead
       G
Though I’d never tell you to
  Dm                G  C
cover yourself in a lie
     G
But I will still bite
       Dm                 G      C
my lip harder so that I don’t cry

[chorus]
     Am7  C
And it burns
      G    C   G
For a while
       Am
And it hurts all the more
           D                  G  C  G
When you carry the world as a child

[bridge]
    Am    D       G  C  G
And I burn for myself
          Am
Cause I know that I should
                                 G  C  G
When it’s screaming at me to be felt

[chorus]
    Am      D7        G  C  G
And we burn all the time
          Am
Cause it hurts all the more
          D                   G    C G
When we carry the world as a child

[outro]
C          G
Mmhm-mmhm-mmhm
