B A

Afternoon, see a guy with rubies on his head

B A

and he's shifting like, shifting like he was dead

B A

and he's hearing something she never said

G A B

on his way back home, under his bed

CHORUS:

B G A

When the weight comes down

B G A

When the weight comes down

In the night there's a girl who doesn't mind her ragged sleeves

knowing someone soon is gonna grieve

and a man he tells her a story, she just don't believe

called "adam never could do right by eve."

B G A

and the weight comes down

B G A

and the weight comes down

B G A

and the weight comes down

F# A

down on you, down on me

Em

and a girl walks by the burning bush

G

she asks "what's gone wrong here man?"

A

and he smiles, says, "Open wide, wide, wide"

In my dreams, a candy coated train comes to my door

with a little girl, I can't have anymore

you know a letter washes up to the shore

that I cannot read and I probably should ignore

when the weight comes down

when the weight comes down

when the weight comes down
