{Verse} 
Look at this big - eyed fish swimming in the sea oh 
How it dreams to be a bird swoop and diving through the breeze 
So one day caught a big old wave up on to the beach 
Now heÕs dead you see beneath the sea is where a fish should be 
---------------------------------------------- 
{chorus}  Em    C    G    Bm 

Em     C 
But oh God
G           Bm 
Under the weight of life
Em     C    G               Bm 
Things seem brighter on the other side 
------------------------------------------------------- 
{Verse} 

You see this crazy man decided not to breathe 

He turned red and blue - purple, colorful indeed 

No matter how his friends begged and pleaded the man would not concede 

And now heÕs dead you see the silly man should know you got to breathe 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
{Chorus} 

But oh God 

Under the weight of life 

Things seem brighter on the other side 
 
Oh God 

Under the weight of life 

Things seem so much better on the other side 
G  C  G  D/F# - Em C G D/F# 
No way, no way 
No way out of here 
-------------------------------------------------------------------- 
{Verse} 
You see the little monkey sitting up in his monkey tree 
One day decided to climb down and run off to the city 
But look at him now lost tired living in the street 
As good as dead you see what a monkey does - stay up your tree 
--------------------------------------------------------------------- 
{Chorus} 
But oh God 
Under the weight of life 
Things seem brighter on the other side 
 
Oh God 
Under the weight of life 
Things seem so much better on the other side 
 
No way, no way, no way 
No way out of here
