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