Verse: 0:12- 0:35

Play Rhy. Fig. 1

F#                          E 
 She calls me Goliath and I wear the David mask
B                                  F#  
 I guess the stones are coming too fast for her now
F#                                 E
 You know I'd like to believe this nervousness will pass,

B                                   F#
 all the stones that are thrown are building up a wall


Pre-CHORUS:  0:36- 0:59

F#        A             E             F#  
I have become cumbersome to this world
F#        A             E           F#
I have become cumbersome to my girl


Verse:  1:00- 1:22

Rhy. Fig. 1

F#                           E
 I'd like to believe we could reconcile the past
B                            F#
resurrect those bridges with an ancient glance
F#                           E 
 But my old stone face can't seem to break her down,
B                       F#
 she remembers bridges, burns them to the ground


Pre-CHORUS:  1:23- 1:46
F#         A             E             F# 
 I have become cumbersome to this world
F#         A             E             F# 
 I have become cumbersome to this girl


CHORUS: 1:47- 2:23
F#                                     
 Too heavy, too light, too black or too 
A
white, too wrong or too right, today or tonite
E5      F#    
  cumbersome
F#
 Too rich, too poor, she's wanting me 
A
less and I'm wanting her more
E5                           F#   
 the bitter taste is cumbersome,  na yeah,
A       F#     E    F#
no, no, no
A       F#        E    F#
no, no, no,  yeah


Break:  2:24- 2:59
(Bass plays lead, guitar plays chords)

F#         E                   B5                 F#
there is a balance between two worlds one with an arrow and a cross
F#                  E             B5             F#
  regardless of the balance life has become cumbersome


CHORUS:  2:60- end

F#                                     
 Too heavy, too light, too black or too 
A

E5      F#    
  cumbersome
F#
 Too rich, too poor, she's wanting me

no, no, no,  yeah
A       F#        E    F#
no, no, no,         yeah
A       F#        E          F#
 your life has become  cumbersome
