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,
D/B Bbmaj7 D A
Didn't see that she was, cry-ing.

Always someone's carrying Cathy.

Verse 2:
D D/C
There were times when I'd find myself saying that;
D/B Bbmaj7
"Friends, you don't understand",
D A
And she's different, when it's just me and her.
D D/C
And I closed the door and I tried to hang on,
D/B Bbmaj7 D A
And she sank into the dark. I was over my head.

There was always someone carrying,
Am Dm7
There was always someone carrying,

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:
Am Dm7
There'd always been someone...
Gm C D
Gm C
Then one night, she climbed into the picture frame.
Am Dm7 Gm C D G D
Out in the frozen air, and out, of sight.
Verse 3:
D D/C
Woke up sad from this dream I've been having,
D/B Bbmaj7 D A
The last couple nights or so.
D D/C
With her father and brothers, we're all at the funeral,
D/B Bbmaj7
Carrying a box through the rain.
D A
Then somebody says that it's always been this way.
Chorus 4:

There was always someone carrying,
Am Dm7
There was always someone carrying,

Always someone's carrying...
Gm C D
Always someone's carrying... Cathy.
