...CARRYING CATHY... by Ben Folds --------------------............. *from 'Rockin' The Suburbs' (2001)* *CAPO 4th FRET* (Original Key: ) Intro: , , , , , , , , Verse 1: Her window was hung like a painting, She worried it might come to life. She stared for hours. So obsessed was I, and self-absorbed that I, Didn't see that she was, cry-ing. Chorus 1: There was always someone carrying, There was always someone carrying, Always someone's carrying Cathy. Interlude: , , , (x2) Verse 2: There were times when I'd find myself saying that; "Friends, you don't understand", And she's different, when it's just me and her. And I closed the door and I tried to hang on, And she sank into the dark. I was over my head. Chorus 2: There was always someone carrying, There was always someone carrying, Always someone's carrying Cathy. Interlude: , , , Bridge 1: We gave you everything; you could have been anything. We gave you everything; you could have done anything. But to i-magine a fall, with no one at all to catch you. Chorus 3: There'd always been someone... Then one night, she climbed into the picture frame. Out in the frozen air, and out, of sight. Verse 3: Woke up sad from this dream I've been having, The last couple nights or so. With her father and brothers, we're all at the funeral, Carrying a box through the rain. Then somebody says that it's always been this way. Chorus 4: There was always someone carrying, There was always someone carrying, Always someone's carrying... Always someone's carrying... Cathy.
