...CARRYING CATHY... by Ben Folds
*from 'Rockin' The Suburbs' (2001)*
*CAPO 4th FRET*
(Original Key: F#)
Intro:
Verse 1:
Her window was hung like a painting,
She worried it might come to life.
She stared for hours.
So obsessed was I, and self-absorbed that I,
Didn't see that she was, cry-ing.
Chorus 1:
There was always someone carrying,
There was always someone carrying,
Always someone's carrying Cathy.
Interlude:
Verse 2:
There were times when I'd find myself saying that;
"Friends, you don't understand",
And she's different, when it's just me and her.
And I closed the door and I tried to hang on,
And she sank into the dark. I was over my head.
Chorus 2:
There was always someone carrying,
There was always someone carrying,
Always someone's carrying Cathy.
Interlude:
Bridge 1:
We gave you everything; you could have been anything.
We gave you everything; you could have done anything.
But to i-magine a fall, with no one at all to catch you.
Chorus 3:
There'd always been someone...
Then one night, she climbed into the picture frame.
Out in the frozen air, and out, of sight.
Verse 3:
Woke up sad from this dream I've been having,
j7
The last couple nights or so.
With her father and brothers, we're all at the funeral,
Carrying a box through the rain.
Then somebody says that it's always been this way.
Chorus 4:
There was always someone carrying,
There was always someone carrying,
Always someone's carrying...
Always someone's carrying... Cathy.
