Weight of Living Part 1 - Bastille
--------------
This is just the key I play it in as it suits my voice, just move the capo around
or transpose if this doesn t suit you.
Capo on 2
---------
VERSE 1
There s an albatross around your neck,
All the things you ve said,
and the things you ve done,
Can you carry it with no regrets,
Can you stand the person you ve become,
Ooooh there s a light (x2)
CHORUS
Your Albatross, let it go, let it go,
Your Albatross shoot it down, shoot it down
When you just can t shake
The heavy weight of living
VERSE 2
Stepping forward out into the day
Shrugging off the dust and memory
Though it s soaring still above your head
It is out of sight and none shall see
Ooooh there s a light (x2)
CHORUS (Same as Before)
Your Albatross, let it go, let it go,
Your Albatross shoot it down, shoot it down
When you just can t shake
The heavy weight of living
When you just can t seem to shake
The heavy weight of Living
BRIDGE
It s the suuun in your eyes, in your eyes (x4)
CHORUS (Same again)
Your Albatross, let it go, let it go,
Your Albatross shoot it down, shoot it down
When you just can t shake
The heavy weight of living
When you just can t seem to shake
The heavy weight of Living
OUTRO
The Weight of Living
The Weight of Living (x2)
Note: To play in the actual key of the recorded song with these chords take it all
