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
