[Verse 1]
Bm7 A/C# Cadd9
Well, you're up all night
F#m7 C#m7
And your head's down low
Bm7 A/C# Cadd9
If you can see your own kite
F#m7 Esus4
Shed a little light, oh Lord
Bm7 A/C# Cadd9
You know a burden ain't a bust
F#m7 C#m7
You are the only way to trust ya
D F#m7 Dsus2 A
No no no, it's only fair it burns up in that rust
[Chorus]
Esus4
Lay down, Martha
Cadd9 A
Lay down the holy banner flag
Esus4
Hold out, Martha
Cadd9 A
Help is surely on its way
F#m7
And it's not right
Em Cadd9 A/C# A
Don't bask in the glory of mine
Bm7 A/C# Cadd9 A/C# Bm7
But oh no, they can't come take that part away
[Verse 2]
Cadd9 A
They ate up all their cake
Cadd9 A
And they drank their own wine
Bm7 A/C# Cadd9
They were always on the take
F#m7 Esus4
Will you shed a little light, oh Lord
Bm7 A/C# Cadd9
Well, you know the burden ain't a gust
F#m7 C#m7
The only path to love is touch
D F#m7 Dsus2 A
I'll always know that all that proper mounts too much
[Chorus]
Esus4
Lay down, Martha
Cadd9 A
Lay all that alabaster down
Esus4
There's no master and
Cadd9 A
Help will surely come around
F#m7
I don't ask
Em Cadd9 A/C# A
I don't bask in the glory, oh no (nah nah)
Bm7 A/C# Cadd9 A/C# Bm7
And it's up to me if I don't wear a mask
[Interlude]

[Outro]
Bm7 A/C# Cadd9
Well you're up all night
F#m7 C#m7
And your neighbors don't know
Bm7 A/C# Cadd9
Man, your neighbors don't know
F#m7 Esus4
So shed a little light, oh Lord
Bm7 A/C# Cadd9
You know a burden ain't a bust
F#m7 C#m7
You know that truth's been known to crutch
D F#m7 Dsus2 A
No no no, only them whose pauper lays him up
