[Verse 1]
    G                        D/G
I'm weary and I’m staying up late
        C/G
And the rain hits my roof so hard
    Am
You know I'm no longer thirty
               D
These days I'm happy to play
           C        G       D  C
One or two hands of cards

[Verse 2]
  G                         D/G
I hate flies in the kitchen buzzing
    C/G
Disturbing the peace I've found
Am
Fortune and fame is so fleeting
               D
These days I'm happy to say
                    C     G       D/F#
I'm amazed that I'm still around

[Chorus]
        Em                     Am
And the weight of the world is off my back
        
When we fell, we got up
            G
And crawled out the cracks
  G/F                    A/E
Excuse me if I take some comfort in that
Cm/Eb        Am7b5
Happy today, happy to play
         Em                  F   C  G
With the weight of the world off my back

[Verse 3]
  G                   D/G
Humidity hangs like a curtain
       C/G
Oh, it fogs up my glasses sometimes
    Am
You know I've still got my eyesight
               D
These days I'm happy to see
           C          G      D/F#
A sunset instead of a line

[Chorus]
        Em                     Am
And the weight of the world is off my back
        D
When we fell, we got up
            G
And crawled out the cracks
  G/F                    A/C#
Excuse me if I take some comfort in that
Cm/Eb        Am7b5
Happy today, happy to play
         Em                  F   C  G
With the weight of the world off my back

[Bridge]
Ab
There's a long list of names
       Eb
That I don't recall
     Bb        Bb/Ab    Eb
Even though my memory's good
    G/B
The rain washed away
    Cm
The lemons and weeds
         F/A                         F7           Bb
When the weight of the world weighed more than it should

[Verse 4]
  G                         D/G
I hate flies in the kitchen buzzing
    C/G
Disturbing the peace I've found
Am
Fortune and fame is so fleeting
               D
These days I'm happy to say
                    C     G      D/F#
I'm amazed that I'm still around

[Chorus]
        Em                     Am
And the weight of the world is off my back
        
When we fell, we got up
            G
And crawled out the cracks
  G/F                    A/E
Excuse me if I take some comfort in that
Cm/Eb        Am7b5
Happy today, happy to play
         Em                  F   C  G
With the weight of the world off my back

[Outro]
Cm/Eb        Am7b5
Happy today, happy to play
         Em                  F   C  G
With the weight of the world off my back
