Tuning: Standard

This is a really fun tune from the new album "The People's Key". So psyched to 
hear what the rest of the songs sound like. Very simple song, some tricky chords, 
but you don't have to be perfect! Feel free to email me any questions of comments.

Verse:
I was dressed in white
Touched by something pure
death pobsessed like a teenager
Sold my tortured youth, pissed in vinegar
I'm still angry with no reason to be
At the architect who imagined this
For the everyman blessed sisyphus
Slipping steadily into madness
Now thats the only place to be free

Chorus:
But here it come, that heavy love
You're never gonna move it alone
Here it come, that heavy love
Tatooed on a criminals arm
Here it come that heavy love
Someone gotta share in the load
Oh here it come that heavy love
You're never gonna move it alone
