verse 1 
Bm                             Em 
One step forward and two steps back 
D            A 
Nothing good ever comes easy 
Bm                                  Em 
I gave it all and got a knife in my back 
D                            A 
Should have known the ones I trusted would leave me 
G                       A 
They only see what they wanna see

    A 
The weight that I hold 
  Bm                  Em         D

One life, one chance, it's all I have 
D                      A 
Wouldn't matter if the whole world hated me 
Bm                       Em 
So I move on, forget the past 
D                      A 
And let 'em go back to thinkin' they made me 
G                       A 
They only see what they want to see

verse 3 
Bm 
Heavy is the weight 
Bm 
I don't wanna wait 
Bm 
For them all to be good 
Bm 
When I wanna be great 
Bm 
Yeah, I know about pressure 
Bm 
Yeah, I know about stressin' 
Bm 
Worried if I'll lose everything invested 
Bm 
And I know about workin' when I'm hardly rested 
Bm 
Like, am I in tune with what I'm destined for? 
Bm 
Been carrying this weight for so long 
Bm 
Didn't even notice that my back was so strong 
Bm 
I can probably put a boat on it with no problem 
Bm 
The show must go on
