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
