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