You wonder why I carry such a weight on my shoulders
G
And why would I tttts such a load

    F

Am    
Why would you try to make me friends with them soldiers ?
G
When you know that I've never been familiar with orders
Am
When you know that my heart is in a pretty disorder
G
And you should know that in my heart you fill every corner

    F                            Dm                    F
And someday you'll see that all I want is to please
           Dm
Next time I'll try it another way

G                                             Am / Am2 (x2)

How many shoulders will I break ?


Why would I carry such a weight on my shoulders ?
Why am I always by your side when you're down ?
Why did I help you build a beautiful house ?
And why did I break my back for you in the cold ?

Cos someday you'll see
Next time I'll try it another way               

Why would I have to quit if time makes me older ?
Why do they wonder why I never get bored ?
How could I tell them that I'll never let go
But hey, you're my man but they just won't understand

Cos someday you'll see that all I want is to please
Next time I'll try it another way

How long will I sit and wait like a soldier ?   
How many summers will it take ?                 
How many summers will I wait ?
How many shoulders will I break ?

Why would I carry such a weight on my shoulders ?
Why do I always help you carry your boulders ?
You wonder why I carry such a weight on my shoulders
And why would I tttts such a load

Cos someday you'll see
Next time I'll try it another way
How long will I sit and wait on that boulder ?
How many summers will I wait ?
