Verse 1

D G The gravity is focused here

Bm D Behind the eyes, behind the ear

G Bm I’m carrying a cannonball

D G I’m bracing for the inevitable fall

Bm D The neck is stiff, the spine is bent

G Bm I’m wondering where the hours went

D G I cannot lift it off the chest

Bm D I cannot find a place to rest

Chorus

G My tired head

Bm D Is filled with lead

G Bm I’m hanging by a spider thread

D My tired head

G Bm The static noise

D G Destroys the poise

Bm D I’m losing all the little joys

G Bm Inside my tired head

D (So heavy)

Verse 2

G Bm The pillow feels like solid stone

D G I’m aching in the marrow bone

Bm D The thoughts are grinding out a groove

G Bm I’m paralyzed, I cannot move

D G I try to close the mental blinds

Bm D To leave the wreckage far behind

G Bm But pressure builds inside the skull

D G A dull and unrelenting pull

Chorus

Bm My tired head

D G Is filled with lead

Bm D I’m hanging by a spider thread

G My tired head

Bm D The static noise

G Bm Destroys the poise

D G I’m losing all the little joys

Bm D Inside my tired head

G (So heavy)

Chords auto-estimated from the song’s audio (bass = roots, guitar/synth = quality) and snapped to the detected key — a best-effort transcription, not a hand-verified score. To check accuracy, play the MIDI against the original recording (the verify player, when present, does this for you). Chord positions over the words are approximate to the repeating loop.
