Am
I'm down below where the floor is out of focus,
F                        G
pent up and played down, rained in and worn out
Am
Picking away at the studs in the boards
F                         G
They're all too familiar, I've been here before.
Am
The air is like lead and I've swallowed what I've said.
F                          G
I'm a broken machine and a match already burned.
Am
And I'm quiet, all despite the raging in my head
F                                 G
Collapsed inside and out until my strength can return.

[Chorus]
Dm                Am                        C         G
I'm undone. All I know is the weight of the world, so empty and so 
        Dm             Am              C           G
uninspired. Sorrow and sleep and disbelief, caught up in the weight of
     Am
the world.

[Verse]
Am
I'm down below where it's silent and it's safe,
    F                            G
resounding with the question of "Where to, from here?"
  Am
I know my direction, I know what it takes,
        F                            G
but I'm weak and I'm weightless with everything to fear.
  Am
I write about what's real to me when all I feel is make believe,
     F                                        G
but I won't say there's nothing left, there's everything, but just out
   Am
of reach.

[Chorus]
Dm                Am                        C         G
I'm undone. All I know is the weight of the world, so empty and so 
        Dm             Am              C           G
uninspired. Sorrow and sleep and disbelief, caught up in the weight of
     Am
the world.

[Bridge]
     C      G      Dm   
But I'm not helpless;
 C      G      F
I'm not hopeless.
    C          G       Dm                   C             G       Am
But I don't believe in hope on it's own, no spine and no substance.

[Chorus]
Dm                Am                        C         G
I'm undone. All I know is the weight of the world, so empty and so 
        Dm             Am              C           G
uninspired. Sorrow and sleep and disbelief, caught up in the weight of
     Am
the world.

[Outro]
Am                                        F
It's time to see the floor sink around me, pushed down with my two bare hands and
Am                                  F                   G
now I'm stronger for whatever comes. Let the blood rush, as I rise to
   Am
my feet.
