The Modern Pain version is Capo 3 and the Five Dollar Bill version is Capo 5

G5                                   F#5
The days are piling up and I don't know that I can take it
F5                              E5
And freedom by design is so far gone I'll never make
G5                                F#5
And everything's so heavy that I think I want to leave it
F5                                            E5
And it's weight that I don't need I think it's time that I relieved it

CHORUS:
E5                 B5        E5             B5
Heavy and I'm leavin', heavy and I'm gone
E5                     B5               E5
It's heavy and I'm leavin' here, so long
                                          
E5                  B5      E5             B5
Heavy and I'm leavin', heavy and I'm gone
E5                   B5                   E5   B5
It's heavy and I'm leavin' here, so long

Well outside ain't so good today it's windy and it's raining
And it's been so bad so long that I can't say I see it changing
The talk that I've been subject to seems mostly unrelated
And these blues have been allowed to run/continue unabated

CHORUS
E5                 B5        E5             B5
Heavy and I'm leavin', heavy and I'm gone
E5                     B5               E5
It's heavy and I'm leavin' here, so long
                                          
E5                  B5      E5             B5
Heavy and I'm leavin', heavy and I'm gone
E5                   B5                   E5   B5
It's heavy and I'm leavin' here, so long


A5                              G5      A5
Discouraged fingers with no follow through
A5                           G5       A5
No courage lingers like you want it to
A5                            G5      A5
Discouraged fingers with no follow through
A5                            G5       A5
Discouraged fingers with no love for you

Well these hands have always been too slow in the past
Reluctance greeted nearly every task
Now my old heart tells me he wants it done fast
Discouraged fingers they resist to the last
