B A
Afternoon, see a guy with rubies on his head
B A
and he's shifting like, shifting like he was dead
B A
and he's hearing something she never said
G A B
on his way back home, under his bed

CHORUS:
B G A
When the weight comes down
B G A
When 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 G A
and the weight comes down
B G A
and the weight comes down
B G A
and the weight comes down
F# A
down on you, down on me
Em
and a girl walks by the burning bush
G
she asks "what's gone wrong here man?"
A
and 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
