Verse 1:
DGD
Just barely twenty with a slight frame
DGBm
And a hunger for something that I couldn't name
GD
I went running, I went running
GAD
Running barefoot into the night
Verse 2:
DGD
I got hair the color of a silkworm's dream
DGBm
The prettiest little thing that you ever did see
GD
They come running, they come running
GAD
Anything they can do, they clamor for me
Chorus:
GD
(Ohhhhh) It never changes
GBm
(Ohhhhh) But we carry the weight with us
GDA
(Ohhhhh) It's a hard world
Interlude:
D Bm A x3
D
Verse 3:
DGD
It all seems such a long time ago
DGBm
They buried my story when they filled in that hole
GD
Nobody running, nobody running
GABm
Nobody trying to explain
Middle bit:
GABm
I wanna wake in the woods beside the lake, just
GABm
Resting my head, in some moss covered glen
Chorus:
GD
(Ohhhhh) It never changes
GBm
(Ohhhhh) But we carry the weight with us
GDA
(Ohhhhh) It's a hard world
Verse 4:
DGD
Motor oil coloured hair and a white t-shirt
DGBm
Now tan from the rust and the dirt
Bridge:
GD
Nobody calls for me, nobody hunts for me
GABm
They don't seem to know I'm gone
GD
The other girls and me resting under this tree
GBmABm
Are green with envy at the attention you draw
Chorus:
GD
(Ohhhhh) It never changes
GBm
(Ohhhhh) But we carry the weight with us
GDA
(Ohhhhh) It's a hard world
G
For the little things
AG
A hard world, oh oh oh
ABm
A hard wor- or- or- or- old
A
For all the lost girls
End:
GD
Remember me, remember me
GABm
underneath this lonesome awful tree
GABm
Let the roots and soil drink of me
GBmABm
Whispering leaves and pointing branches will tell them where I'm lying
