We All Carry Something Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Em][G]
[Em][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]She was born
with her momma's [Em]eye s
[G]Her momma's laugh
Her momma's smile
Her mommas taste for sweet red wine
So at [C]night she grips the bottle tight
We all carry [G]something
[Em][G]

[Verse 2]
He was raised in a trailer park
Where cops don't go after dark
When his daddy hit, he hit real hard
[C]Still walks around with those battle scares
We all carry [G]something

[Verse 3]
That [C]makes us who we are
[B]Standing in the rain
Oh, [Em]deep within our hearts
[D]Therein lies the pain
[C]Know, you're not alone
So [Am]keep holding [C]on
[G]

[Verse 4]
Works Chicago's South side
Totes a badge and a 45
Watches drug dealers
and babies die
[C]Sometimes a man can't help but cry
We all carry [G]something

[Verse 5]
And there's an Army [G]Green
Purple Heart
Went to fight for the stripes
and stars
Brought back the war from land afar
[C]Still wears that shrapnel in his arm
We all carry [G]something
That [C]makes us who we are

[Verse 6]
[B]Standing in the rain
Oh, [Em]deep within our hearts
[D]Therein lies the pain
[C]Know, you're not alone
So [Am]keep holding [C]on
We [D]all carry [C]something
[B][Em]

[Verse 7]
[D]
Yeah, [C]keep holding on
And [Am]know you're not alone

[Interlude 1]
[C][G]

[Verse 8]
Before he died [G]on the [Em]tree
[G]Before they nailed his hands and fee[C]t
[G]He walked right through
those city [Em]street[G] s
[C]Carrying the sins of you and me

[Verse 9]
We all [G]carry [C]something[G]
We [C]all carry something
