Maybe you don't know me anymore than I know you

I've been watching you all evening
With the teardrops in your eyes

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

Lay your troubles on my shoulders
A#m B
Put your worries in my pocket

Rest your love on me awhile

Put your worries in my pocket

Rest your love on me a while

Saw you in the corner on the moment I walked in
G#
Saw your lonely face across the room
D#m
No, I won't forget it
And the way it might have been
G#7 C#
Oh, why did you have to leave so soon?
C#
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

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

Lay your troubles on my shoulders

Put your worries in my pocket

Put your worries in my pocket

Rest your love on me awhile
