[Verse 1]
C Csus4 C
Maybe you don't know me anymore than I know you
Csus4 C G
And I wouldn't blame you if you walked away
Dm
I've been watching you all evening
With the teardrops in your eyes
G7sus4 A7 C
And it touches me more than I can say.

You know I hate to think that someone

Could have hurt someone like

And at times like this I'd be right by your side
[Chorus 1]

Lay your troubles on my shoulders

Put your worries in my pocket

Rest your love on me awhile

Lay your troubles on my shoulders

Put your worries in my pocket

Rest your love on me a while

G Gsus4 G
Saw you in the corner on the moment I walked in
D
Saw your lonely face across the room
Am
No, I won't forget it
And the way it might have been
D7 G
Oh, why did you have to leave so soon?
G
You know I hate to think that someone

Could have loved you more than me

And if I was them I'd be right by your side

How long must I wait
For the last train to leave here
C
And the last chance to go home
G D G
Get to thinking I was born too soon
D
How long, honey
When the lovin' don't come
C
It was there when you left me
G D G G
Just didn't know how to begin (ah-oh)
[Chorus 3]

Lay your troubles on my shoulders

Rest your love on me awhile
