Burden - Amos Lee
Mountains of Sorrow, Rivers of Song.
Capo 3rd Fret
F# F#7 B
I never meant to be a burden
F# C#
Oh I just worry more than I'd like to
F# F#7 B
I never meant to be a burden
F# C#7 F# (C) F#
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
F# C#
For so long I have lived amongst the shadows
C# F# (C) F#
Waiting for the sun to break on through
F# F#7 B
Oh it's time I cast my oars and head out on these shores
F# C#7 F# (C) F#
And find some place where I can start anew
F# F#7 B
I never meant to be a burden

I never meant to be a burden
F# C#7 F#(C)G
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
B
Oh forgive if I've weighed upon your back
F# C#7
It's so heavy already without me
B
Going ahead into this abyss and find my own way out of this
C# C#7
So you can walk ahead more easily
