[This is also how you play the chords in the verses]
VERSE 1:
--------
F# E
She calls me Goliath and I wear the David mask
B F#
I guess the stones are coming too fast for her now
F# E
You know I'd like to believe this nervousness will pass
B F#
All the stones that are thrown are building up a wall
Here's how you play the chords in the chorus:
F# A E F#
E|--2--2------5--5------0--0-------2-2-x-x-2-2-x-2-x-2-x-x-2-2---|
B|--2----2----5----5----0----0-----2-2-x-x-2-2-x-2-x-2-x-x-2-2---|

E|--2---------5---------0----------2-2-x-x-2-2-x-2-x-2-x-x-2-2---|
CHORUS:
-------
F# A E F#
I have become cumbersome to this world
F# A E F#
I have become cumbersome to my girl
VERSE 2: [same as VERSE 1]
--------
I'd like to believe we could reconcile the past
Resurrect those bridges with an ancient glance
But my old stone face can't seem to break her down
She remembers bridges & burns them to the ground
CHORUS: [same as previous CHORUS]
-------
I have become cumbersome to this world
I have become cumbersome to my girl
[play the bridge chords a bit like the last chord in the chorus,
lots of muted notes in between. Listen to the song to get it]
BRIDGE:
-------
F# A
Too heavy, too light, too black or too white, too wrong or too right
E F#
Today or tonight...cumbersome
F# A
Too rich or too poor, she's wanting me less and I'm wanting her more
E F#
The bitter taste is cumbersome, no, yeah
A A F# E E F#
No, no, no...
A A F# E E F#
No, no, no, yeah
After the bridge comes this part:
b = bend note
r = release bend
F# E B F#
E|--2------------0----------------------------2-------------
B|--2------------0-------------4--------------2-------------
G|--3------------1-------------4--------------3--3b4r3b4r3--
D|--4------------2-------------4--------------4-------------
A|--4------------2-------------2--------------4-------------
E|--2------------0----------------------------2-------------
At the same time the bass is playing this:

D|---------------------------------------------------------
A|--------------------2-4-7-7--7-7-7---9-7-5-4-2-2-2--2-2--
E|--2--2-2--2--2--2-4--------------------------------------
F#
G-----------------------|
D-----------------------|
A--4-2------------------|
E------5-4-2--2-2--2-2--|
In verse 3 the bass keeps playing the above bassline but the guitar
plays this:
F# E B F#
E|-x-x-x-x-2-----2------0------0-------------0-------2-------------
B|-x-x-x-x-2------------0-------------4--------------2-------------
G|-x-x-x-x-3------------1-------------4--------------3--3b4r3b4r3--

E--x-x-x-x-2------------0----------------------------2---|
VERSE 3:
--------
F# E B
There is a balance between two worlds
F#
One with an arrow and a cross
F# E
Regardless of the balance
B F#
Life has become cumbersome
BRIDGE: [play same as previous bridge]
-------
Too heavy, too light, too black or too white, too wrong or too right
Today or tonight...cumbersome
Too rich or too poor, she's wanting me less and I'm wanting her more
The bitter taste is cumbersome, no, yeah
No, no, no...
No, no, no, yeah
OUTRO:
------
A A F# E F#
Nah, nah, No, no...yeah-heah
A F# E F#
Your life has become cumbersome
