The Weight of My Guitar Lyrics

CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO: C G Am G C G Am
Picked up my guitar
I passed it to the kid
He said he found it heavy
I hadn't thought about it
He must have struck a chord
Somewhere in the back of my mind
Maybe from another time
But, knew when I was young
And set out along the road
The songs came fast
But the rhymes were all wrong
The colour of it darkened
Before my eyes
There's another world fell inside
CHORUS:
Broken strings left behind
From stories where I stood
Like wishes from a falling star
And it cracked from those aches
That I drove into the wood
You'd never guess it from afar
The weight of my_ guitar
INTERLUDE: C G Am G C G Am
Ghosts from the past
Are hiding in there
Skeletons from closets
In need of repair
Best kept secrets
Whispered in a bar
Under the bridge of my guitar
Don't tell, she said
Unless you do
In a song that makes me
A little less blue
I'm a sucker for a punch-line
And that's no joke
And I watched her go
CHORUS:
Broken strings left behind
From stories where I stood
Like wishes from a falling star
And it cracked from those aches
That I drove into the wood
You'd never guess it from afar
The weight of my_ guitar
BRIDGE:
Somewhere there's a heart
It's heavy as I turn
I can feel it getting lighter
With the beat of every stroke
You'd never guess it from afar
The weight of my_ guitar
OUTRO: (## repeat and fade to end ##)
