          A              

  Sometimes I know that it's never enough

        A

  Survival is fine but satisfaction is rough

     E

  I try with an angel tonight

       A                                                      

  Spread these wings and I'm on for the ride

      A

  Cruise these streets where my innocence hides

      E                   C#m                   A

  There's some things you can't deny

   F#m                             A

  What is it about this human condition 

     F#m                                                A     

  I need some kind of promise some kind 

                             E

  of submission tonight

  

  CHORUS

      B

  Heavy

                A

  Ain't it heavy

                            E

  Ain't the night heavy

  

  D/A/E

  

  I'm feeling kinda loose I'm feeling kinda mean

  I've been feeling kinda wild since I turned 17

  Or is it madness

  Tell me where can a woman find any kinda peace

  When does the fury and the agony cease

  How long have I got to say please

  There's a hole in my jeans I only wanted to fade

  I've been riping out seams somebody else made tonight

  The general strum pattern is d u d(muted) u u d and the 

  muted down strum can be replaced with the E6 on down 

  strum. This is also transcribed from Melissa's MTV 

  Unplugged performance so it's more acoustic than electric 

  and played slower than the album version.
