Burden - Amos Lee
Mountains of Sorrow, Rivers of Song.
Capo 3rd Fret
C C7 F
I never meant to be a burden
C G
Oh I just worry more than I'd like to
C C7 F
I never meant to be a burden
C G7 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 C7 F
Oh it's time I cast my oars and head out on these shores
C G7 C (C) C
And find some place where I can start anew
C C7 F
I never meant to be a burden
C G
Oh I just worry more than I'd like to
C C7 F
I never meant to be a burden
C G7 C(C)G
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
F
Oh forgive if I've weighed upon your back
C G7
It's so heavy already without me
F
Going ahead into this abyss and find my own way out of this
G G7
So you can walk ahead more easily
