Cadd4
Now that he has everything?
Verse 5
Bbsus2
The more he has,
Cadd4
Bbsus2
the more he holds
Cadd4
The greater the weight
Bbsus2
of the world on his shoul ders
Cadd4
See how he labors beneath that load
Bbsus2
Afraid to look up,
Cadd4
and afraid to let go
Bbsus2
So he keeps his head low,
Cadd4
he keeps his back bending
Bbsus2
He's grown so afraid
Cadd4
that he'll lose what he owns
Bbsus2
But what he doesn't know
Cadd4
is that what he's defending
Bbsus2
Is already gone
Verse 6
Bbsus2
Where is the treasure
C
in side of your chest?
Bbsus2
Where is your pleasure?
C
Where is your youth?
Bbsus2
Where is the man
C
with his arms outstretched?
Bbsus2
To the woman he loves
C
With nothing to lose
