Verse 1
E
I’ve been holdin’ on to this weight
A
Since the day you were gone
C#m
Feels like every step I take
B
Just tryin’ to carry on
E
We fought through some hard times
A
In places far from home
C#m
But whatever you were fightin’
B
It wouldn’t leave you alone
Chorus (New Progression)
A
Man, you left too soon
F#m
And it don’t sit right
C#m
I’d give anything, brother
B
To pull you back into the light
A
You left too damn soon
F#m
But I won’t let you fade
C#m
I’ll raise one up for you
B
And keep livin’ how we said
Verse 2
E
I still see you smilin’
A
Through all the noise and the pain
C#m
We had each other’s backs
B
But that weight wouldn’t loosen its chain
E
You kept it all inside
A
Didn’t say a word to me
C#m
Now I’m stuck here wonderin’
B
Why you couldn’t just let me see
Chorus (New Progression)
A
Man, you left too soon
F#m
And it don’t sit right
C#m
I’d give anything, brother
B
To pull you back into the light
A
You left too damn soon
F#m
But I won’t let you fade
C#m
I’ll raise one up for you
B
And keep livin’ how we said
Bridge (New Progression)
F#m
This road feels heavy now
A
But I’ll keep movin’ through
C#m
I’ll carry your memory
B
Like I was meant to
F#m
No, I won’t forget
A
What we left unsaid
C#m
I’ll keep pushin’ forward
B
With everything you left
Outro (Refrain)
E
I’ve been holdin’ on to this weight
A
Since the day you were gone
C#m
Feels like every step I take

Just tryin’ to carry on
