Burden - Amos Lee
Mountains of Sorrow, Rivers of Song.
Capo 3rd Fret
G G7 C
I never meant to be a burden
G D
Oh I just worry more than I'd like to
G G7 C
I never meant to be a burden
G D7 G (C) G
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
G D
For so long I have lived amongst the shadows
D G (C) G
Waiting for the sun to break on through
G G7 C
Oh it's time I cast my oars and head out on these shores
G D7 G (C) G
And find some place where I can start anew
G G7 C
I never meant to be a burden
G D
Oh I just worry more than I'd like to
G G7 C
I never meant to be a burden
G D7 G(C)G
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
C
Oh forgive if I've weighed upon your back
G D7
It's so heavy already without me
C
Going ahead into this abyss and find my own way out of this
D D7
So you can walk ahead more easily
Interlude: G G7 C G D G G7 C G D7 G(C)G
G G7 C
I never meant to be a burden
G D
But you're the light that is guiding me through
G G7 C
I never meant to be a burden
G D7 G(C)G
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
G D7 G(C)G
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
G D7 G(C)G
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
