Verse 1:
D D7
Her window was hung like a painting,
D6 Bbmaj7
She worried it might come to life.
D/A A7
She stared for hours.
D D7/C
So obsessed was I, and self-absorbed that I,
Bm7 Bbmaj7 D/A A
Didn't see that she was, cry-ing.
Chorus 1:
Gm7 Gm7/C
There was always someone carrying,
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
There was always someone carrying,
Gm Csus4 C D
Always someone's carrying, Cathy.
Interlude:
D G, D G, C F, C (x2)
Verse 2:
D D7/C
There were times when I'd find myself saying that;
D6 Bbmaj7
"Friends, you don't understand",
D/A A7
And she's different, when it's just me and her.
D D7/C
And I closed the door and I tried to hang on,
Bm7 Bbmaj7 D/A A
And she sank into the dark. I was over my head.
Chorus 2:
Gm7 Gm7/C
There was always someone carrying,
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
There was always someone carrying,
Gm Csus4 C (D)
Always someone's carrying, Cathy.

Bridge 1:
Bbmaj7 D
We gave you everything; you could have been anything.
Bbmaj7 D
We gave you everything; you could have done anything.
Bbmaj7 Dm6 D Dm6 D
But to i-magine a fall, with no one at all to catch you.
Chorus 3:
Gm7 C13 Fmaj7, Bb, Gm7 C13 D
There'd always been someone...
Gm7 C13
Then one night, she climbed into the picture frame.
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7 Gm7 C7 D G D
Out in the frozen air, and out, of sight.
Verse 3:
D D7
Woke up sad from this dream I've been having,
D6 Bbmaj7 D/A A7
The last couple nights or so.
D D7/C
With her father and brothers, we're all at the funeral,
Bm7 Bbmaj7
Carrying a box through the rain.

Then somebody says that it's always been this way.

Gm7 Gm7/C
Always someone's carrying,
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
There was always someone carrying,

Always someone's carrying, Cathy.
