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
