Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro tab

I don't have to hear it

If I don't want to

I can drown this out

Pull the curtains down on you

It's a heavy world

It's too much for me to care

  If I close my eyes

It's not there

Chorus

 With my headphones on

 With my headphones on

  We watch television

But the sound is something else

Just a song played against the drama

So the hurt is never felt

I take in the war fires

And I'm chilled by the current events

It's so hopeless

But there's a pop song in my head

(CHORUS)

Bridge

play intro riff throughout)

At the tube stop

You sit down across from me

(I can see you looking back at me)

I think I know you

By the sad eyes that I see

And I wanna tell you

(It's a heavy world)

Everything will be ok

But you wouldn't hear it

(I don't wanna have to hear it)

So we go our separate ways

(CHORUS) (The lyrics below are sung over the chorus, except the last line

which is played with the intro riff)

I don't wanna be the one who

Tries to figure it out

I don't need another reason

I should care about you

You don't wanna know my story

You don't wanna own my pain

We're living in a heavy, heavy world

And there's a pop song in my head

yeah there's a pop song in my head

Yeah it's a heavy world

Oh no, I don't wanna have to hear it

Heavy world

I don't want to have to hear it
