e--------------------------------|
B--------------------------------|
G--------------------------------|

E--------------------------------|

B (x2444x@1)                                     AAfternoon, (x02220@1)see a guy with rubies on his head
        B (x2444x@1)                                 Aand (x02220@1)he's shifting like, shifting like he was dead
        B (x2444x@1)                         Aand (x02220@1)he's hearing something she never said
       G (320003@1)            A (x02220@1)       Bon (x2444x@1)his way back home, under his bed

CHORUS:
         B (x2444x@1)G (320003@1)       AWhen (x02220@1)the weight comes down
         B (x2444x@1)G (320003@1)       AWhen (x02220@1)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 (x2444x@1)G (320003@1)       Aand (x02220@1)the weight comes down
        B (x2444x@1)G (320003@1)       Aand (x02220@1)the weight comes down
        B (x2444x@1)G (320003@1)       Aand (x02220@1)the weight comes down
        F# (244322@1)         Adown (x02220@1)on you, down on me
                        Emand (022000@1)a girl walks by the burning bush
                 Gshe (320003@1)asks "what's gone wrong here man?"
                           Aand (x02220@1)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
