Carrying That Cross

C Sometimes the costs outweigh the benefits Fmaj7 and time just drags you on and on G you stay up all night tryin to get it right C with all your help it just keeps going down C no we damn sure didn't ask for this Fmaj7 but it damn sure is the problem of our times G we've been carryin on and gettin stoned C and forgot to look ourselves right in the eye Fmaj7 C We've been carryin that cross way too long Fmaj7 C the long night we're livin in is almost all but gone Fmaj7 C and if you ready to move on G and quit carryin that cross all alone G carryin that cross on your way home C You know we all end up the same way Fmaj7 ain't a one of us gettin out alive G I've been reading all these new age books C that are telling me it all up there in my mind C Fmaj7 takin pills or sittin still to me it seems and easy choice to make G but I can't lie I do get by on the faith and love C Of the family that I've made Fmaj7 C We've been carryin that cross way too long Fmaj7 C the long night we're livin in is almost all but gone Fmaj7 C and if you ready to move on G and quit carryin that cross all alone G carryin that cross on your way home C You know there ain't no sense in stressin bout the time thats been a passin C it wasn't fast you weren't really here G you were swimming blind up in you mind C against the current of all your deep dark fears C but every man if bound to suffer Fmaj7 and every sad sad song is bound to find a man G but I'll keep on trying till I get it right C I don't give no thats not the way I am Fmaj7 C We've been carryin that cross way too long Fmaj7 C the long night we're livin in is almost all but gone Fmaj7 C and if you ready to move on G and quit carryin that cross all alone carryin that cross on your way home Fmaj7 C and if you ready to move on G and quit carryin that cross all alone G carryin that cross on your way home
