Burden - Amos Lee
Mountains of Sorrow, Rivers of Song.
Capo 3rd Fret
G# G#7 C#
I never meant to be a burden
G# D#
Oh I just worry more than I'd like to
G# G#7 C#
I never meant to be a burden
G# D#7 G# (C) G#
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
G# D#
For so long I have lived amongst the shadows
D# G# (C) G#
Waiting for the sun to break on through
G# G#7 C#
Oh it's time I cast my oars and head out on these shores
G# D#7 G# (C) G#
And find some place where I can start anew
G# G#7 C#
I never meant to be a burden
G# D#
Oh I just worry more than I'd like to
G# G#7 C#
I never meant to be a burden
G# D#7 G#(C)G
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
C#
Oh forgive if I've weighed upon your back
G# D#7
It's so heavy already without me
C#
Going ahead into this abyss and find my own way out of this
D# D#7
So you can walk ahead more easily
Interlude: G# G#7 C# G# D# G# G#7 C# G# D#7 G#(C)G
G# G#7 C#
I never meant to be a burden
G# D#
But you're the light that is guiding me through
G# G#7 C#
I never meant to be a burden
G# D#7 G#(C)G
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
G# D#7 G#(C)G
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
G# D#7 G#(C)G
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
