      G
I'll say goodnight
In the morning I will
              Em
wake up to a blinding
           C
light And curse all
my mistakes And say
     G
I'm not what you think
I'll break all the
             Em
links I'll ignore
             C
all the exit signs
       G
Cause you've had your
own mountains to climb
    Em             C
And I've got skeletons
               G
I hide In the back of
my mind where I question
          Em
myself I dwell on the past
          C
just like everyone else

         G/B
So Don't bear the weight
     C
of the world on your
  G            D/F#
shoulders It's not
          G/B
too heavy I'll break
            C
my back so you can
           G
feel like someone's
        D/F#
on your side

Chorus:
    G
Forget the past and
all the heartache
     D/F#
The growing pains
that keep you awake
Em
I'll sing you to
sleep With songs
      C
that let you know
that we'll be okay
 G
Round and round
and round this goes
D/F#
Playing on your
             Em
stereos When I'm
away and you can't
             C
sleep Just know that
                   G
it's the same for me

And every time I see you
I remember why I made you mine
That day in mid-December
Still so young and naïve with
our hearts on our sleeves
But I know we'll be alright
They don't know what we share in
the briefest of moments
I'm head over heels for
the smallest components
That light in your eye or
that look on your face
Secure in the fact that
we both know our place

G
No one like you girl
No one in the world
Em
The perfect touch to
     C
the picture I had in
       G
my head No one like
you girl Nowhere in
               Em
the world That I
              C
would rather be

Don't bear the weight
of the world on your shoulders
It's not too heavy
Since we met it seems
like we crossed paths at the right time

Chorus
