A                                   E  A E
Hangin out my window and over your head
A                                         E  A E
Starin at your feelings to see where they end
        Bm                                A
You're waiting here for someone else to break you,
         E     A E Bm                 A
From the inside.   You've been so composed
But we all know theres -

Chorus:
E                  A            E  A E
Always something, tearing you apart,
    E               A                E        A E
Its always so much longer, than you counted on.
   C#m               A                 E    A E
It hits you so much harder, than you thought,
               B                A
But you don't worry, you don't worry,
               E  A E
cause you got soul.

You're so heavy, you're so misunderstood
And I spent all my wishes wishing times were good,
when I still could
Wait around here for someone else to take me past
the good side
You've been here so long now, we all know...

Chorus:
There's always somethin' tearin' you apart
It's always so much longer than you counted on
And it hits you so much harder than you thought
But you don't worry, you don't worry, 'cause darlin'
you've got so much soul
Darlin', you've got so much soul

There's always somethin' tearin' you apart
It's always so much longer than you counted on
And it hits you so much harder than you thought
Than you ever thought it would

But you don't worry, and you don't worry
'Cause you don't worry, you don't worry
'Cause you don't worry, you don't worry
'Cause you've got soul
