Intro: (A) (A) (F#m) (F#m)
(A) She was born with her momma's eyes
Her momma's laugh - her momma's smile
Her momma's taste for sweet red wine
So at (D) night, she grips the bottle tight
We all (A) carry something
He was raised in a trailer park
Where cops don't go after dark
When his daddy hit, he hit real hard
Still walks around with those battle scars
We all carry something
That (D) makes us who we are
(C#) Standing in the rain
Oh, (F#m) deep within our hearts
(E) Therein lies the pain
(D) Know, you're not alone
So (Bm) keep holding (D) on
(A) (A)
He works Chicago's Southside
Totes a badge and a 45
Watches drug dealers and babies die
Sometimes a man can't help but cry
We all carry something
And there's an Army Green Purple Heart
Went to fight for the stripes and stars
Brought back the war from land afar
Still wears that shrapnel in his arm
We all carry something
(REPEAT CHORUS)
We (E) all carry (D) something (C#) (F#m) (E)
Yeah, (D) keep holding
And (Bm) know, you're not al(D)one (A) (A)
Before he died on the tree
Before they nailed his hands and feet
He walked right through those city streets
Carrying the sins of you and me
We all carry something
We all carry something
