Standard (EADGBE)

I was a heavy heart to carry, my beloved was weighed down

 My arms around his neck, my fingers laced to crown

 I was a heavy heart to carry, my feet dragged across the ground

 And he took me to the river, where he slowly let me drown

My love has concrete feet, my love's an iron ball

Wrapped around your ankles over the waterfall

 I'm so heavy, heavy...heavy in your arms

I'm so heavy, heavy...heavy in your arms

And is it worth the wait...all this killing time?

Are you strong enough to stand

 Protecting both your heart and mine?

Who is the betrayer?

 Who's the killer in the crowd?

 The one who creeps in corridors and doesn't make a sound

My love has concrete feet

 My love's an iron ball

Wrapped around your ankles over the waterfall

My love has concrete feet, my love's an iron ball

Wrapped around your ankles over the waterfall

( )

I'm so

heavy, heavy

 Heavy in your arms

I'm so heavy, heavy

 So heavy in your arms

This will be my last confession

 I love you never felt like any blessing

 Ohh-ohh-ohh

Whispering like it's a secret

Only to condemn the one who hears it

 With a heavy heart

(Oohh)

Heavy heavy I'm so heavy in your arms

(I'm so heavy) Heavy heavy I'm so heavy in your arms

(I'm so heavy) Heavy heavy I'm so heavy in your arms

(I'm so heavy) Heavy heavy I'm so heavy in your arms

I was a heavy heart to carry

My beloved was weighed down

My arms around his neck

My fingers laced to crown

I was a heavy heart to carry

But he never let me down

When he had me in his arms

My feet never touched the ground

 I'm so heavy, heavy in your arms.

Heavy, I'm so heavy in your arms.
