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

C# C#7 F#
I never meant to be a burden
C# G#
But you're the light that is guiding me through
C# C#7 F#
I never meant to be a burden
C# G#7 C#(C)G
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
C# G#7 C#(C)G
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you

Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
