[Verse 1]
G Gsus4 G
Maybe you don't know me anymore than I know you
Gsus4 G D
And I wouldn't blame you if you walked away
Am
I've been watching you all evening
With the teardrops in your eyes
D7sus4 A7 G
And it touches me more than I can say.
G
You know I hate to think that someone
Gmaj7
Could have hurt someone like
G7 D7sus4 C
And at times like this I'd be right by your side
[Chorus 1]
C D G
Lay your troubles on my shoulders
Bm C
Put your worries in my pocket
D G G7
Rest your love on me awhile
C D G
Lay your troubles on my shoulders
Bm C
Put your worries in my pocket
D G A
Rest your love on me a while
[Verse 2]
D Dsus4 D
Saw you in the corner on the moment I walked in
A
Saw your lonely face across the room
Em
No, I won't forget it
And the way it might have been
A7 D
Oh, why did you have to leave so soon?
D
You know I hate to think that someone
Dmaj7
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
G
And the last chance to go home
D A D
Get to thinking I was born too soon
A
How long, honey
When the lovin' don't come
G
It was there when you left me
D A D D
Just didn't know how to begin (ah-oh)
[Chorus 3]

Rest your love on me awhile
