Standard (EADGBE)

(Original Key: )

Intro

Verse 1

Her window was hung like a painting,

She worried it might come to life.

She stared for hours.

So obsessed was I, and self-absorbed that I,

Didn't see that she was, cry-ing.

Chorus 1

There was always someone carrying,

There was always someone carrying,

Always someone's carrying Cathy.

Interlude

Verse 2

There were times when I'd find myself saying that;

"Friends, you don't understand",

And she's different, when it's just me and her.

And I closed the door and I tried to hang on,

And she sank into the dark. I was over my head.

Chorus 2

There was always someone carrying,

There was always someone carrying,

Always someone's carrying Cathy.

Interlude

Bridge 1

We gave you everything; you could have been anything.

We gave you everything; you could have done anything.

But to i-magine a fall, with no one at all to catch you.

Chorus 3

There'd always been someone...

Then one night, she climbed into the picture frame.

Out in the frozen air, and out, of sight.

Verse 3

Woke up sad from this dream I've been having,

The last couple nights or so.

With her father and brothers, we're all at the funeral,

Carrying a box through the rain.

Then somebody says that it's always been this way.

Chorus 4

There was always someone carrying,

There was always someone carrying,

Always someone's carrying...

Always someone's carrying... Cathy.
