Eb5
Maybe you don't know me anymore than I know you
                                        Bb5
And I wouldn't blame you if you walked away
              F5              Bb5                F5              Bb5
I've been watching you all evening with those teardrops in your eyes
         F5             Bb5             Eb5
And it touches me much more than I can say


Eb5
You Know I'd  hate to think that someone

Could have hurt someone like you
       Eb5
And if I was him
                      Ab5
I'd be right by your side

Chorus:
Ab5          Bb5              Eb5               G5           Ab5
Lay your troubles on my shoulder, put your worries in my pocket
           Bb5         Eb5    Eb5
Rest your love on me awhile
Ab5          Bb5              Eb5              G5            Ab5
Lay your troubles on my shoulder, put your worries in my pocket
            Bb5         Eb5
Rest your love on me awhile

Saw you in the corner from the moment I walked in,
Saw your lonely face across the room ,
No I won't forget it and the way it could've been
Why'd you have to leave so soon

You know I'd hate to think that someone
Could have loved you more than me
And at times like this
I'd be right by your side


Repeat Chorus:


(additional verses from the original version that conway did not record)


Bridge:
Bb5
How long must I wait for that last train to be here
         Ab5
And the last chance to come
Eb5                Bb5              Eb5
Just to think that I was born too soon
Bb5
How long honey, when the lovin' don't come
        Ab5                 Eb5
I was there when you left
                  Bb5     Eb5
Just didn't know how to begin

Ab5          Bb5             Eb5                G5            Ab5
Lay your troubles on my shoulder, put your worries in my pocket
            Bb5        Eb5
Rest your love on me awhile
