Tuning: Standard

This is a really fun tune from the new album "The People's Key". So psyched to 
hear what the rest of the songs sound like. Very simple song, some tricky chords, 
but you don't have to be perfect! Feel free to email me any comments or questions.

                 Am                          AmMaj7/F#                     
Took the fireworks and the vanity
        F                                    C
The circuit board and the city streets
F                                         C
Shooting stars, swaying palm tree
C                                     Am
Laid it at Doherty’s(?) feet
      Am                                                          AmMaj7/F#
If I could change my mind, change the paradigm
      F                            C
Prepare myself for another life
      F                                C
Forgive myself for the many times
           G                                                               Am
I was cruel to something helpless and weak

Chorus:
       F                               G
But here it come, that heavy love
       C                                    Am
I’m never gonna move it alone
F                                G
Here it come, that heavy love
C                                   Am
Tag it on a tenement wall
F                              G
Here it come that heavy love
G#dim                                      Am
Someone gotta share in the load
F                                    G
Oh here it come that heavy love
       F                     G                       C...
I’m never gonna move it alone

Verse:
I was dressed in white
Touched by something pure
death pobsessed like a teenager
Sold my tortured youth, pissed in vinegar
I’m still angry with no reason to be
At the architect who imagined this
For the everyman blessed sisyphus
Slipping steadily into madness
Now thats the only place to be free

Chorus:
But here it come, that heavy love
You’re never gonna move it alone
Here it come, that heavy love
Tatooed on a criminals arm
Here it come that heavy love
Someone gotta share in the load
Oh here it come that heavy love
You’re never gonna move it alone

      Am       Am#7    C
No I don’t want to play
          F        C                   F       G
It’s a shell game, it’s a shell game.

Bridge/Verse:
     Am                               AmMaj7/F#  
Distorted sounds on oscilloscopes
     F                                 C
Distorted facts I could never cope
       F                           C
My private life is an inside joke.
      G                                   Am
No one will explain it to me
                 Am                            AmMaj7/F# 
WIll it be everything that we ever need
  F                          C
Everyone on the count of three,
  F                          C
Everyone on the count of three
         G
All together now.

Chorus:
But here it come, that heavy love
We’re never gonna move it alone
Here it come, that heavy love
PLaying as the cylinder rolls
Here it come that heavy love
I only wanna share in the load
Oh here it come that heavy love
I’m never gonna move it alone
