Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
I'm tired of seeing wrong tabs of this song without the guitar solo,
so I took it upon myself to learn to play it properly.

All guitars play main riff twice in between each verse part and before thr chorus
The chorus is kinda messed up because Ed, Dean, and Ross are all playing
different parts. I usually play Dean's part.

Lyrics
======================================================
(verse 1)
Complicate this world you wrapped for me
Im acquainted with your suffering
(chorus)
And all your weight, it falls on me
It brings me down
And all your weight, it falls on me
It falls on me
Hold me up to those whom you decieved
Promises you break, you still believe
(chorus) x3
And all your weight, it falls on me
It brings me down
And all your weight, it falls on me
It falls on me
==========================================================================
==========================================================================
And now you have seen the tabs for Heavy
Please, go play it and enjoy yourself.
