[E]
[Em] [D]
[C] [A] Why would I carry such a weight on my shoulders?
[G] Why do I always hope you carry your [A] boulders?
And wonder why I carry such a weight on my shoulders?
[G] And why would I have such a load?
[F] Someday you'll [Dm] see, next time I'll try in another [Am] way
[E]
[Am] Why [C] [G]
[C] [Em] [Am] would you try to make new 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 three days order
[G] Then you should know that in my heart you fill every corner
[F] And someday you'll see that all I want is to bleed
[Dm] And [F] next time I'll try in [Am] another way
[E] [Am] [G] How long will I sit and wait like this [Am] soldier?
[Bm] [Am] [G] How many summers will it [Am] take?
[E]
[Am] How [F] many summers [B] will I [E] wait?
How many shoulders will I [Am] break?
[C] [G] [A] Why would I carry such a weight on my shoulders?
[G] Why am I always by your side when you're down?
[A] And why did I help you build a beautiful [Am] house?
[G] And why did I break my back for you in the cold?
[F] And someday you'll see, [Dm] next time I'll try in another [Am] way
[B]
[Am] [C] [G]
[C] [Em] [Am]
What if time makes me older?
[G] Why do they wonder why I never get [Am] bored?
And why could I tell them that I'll never let go?
[G] But hey, you're my man and they just won't understand
[F] Someday you'll see that all I want is to bleed
[Dm] So, next time I'll try in another [Am] way
[E] Will [Am] [G]
I sit and wait like this [Am] soldier?
How
[G] many summers will it [Am] take?
[F] How many summers will I wait?
[E] How many shoulders will I [Am] break?

[G] And why would I have to be so, so [F] low?
And someday you'll see now all I want is to bleed
[Dm] So, next time I'll try in another [Am] way
Will
[Em] [C] [G]
I sit and wait like this [Am] soldier?
