Capo 3 
    
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 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

But you're the light that is guiding me through 
    G            G7        C 
I never meant to be a burden 
   G                       D7          G G
