E E Bsus Bsus A A E Bsus
CHORUS
E
They all fall
E Bsus
Like a million r a i n d r o p s
Bsus A
Falling from a blue sky
A Bsus Bsus
Kissin' your cares goodbye
E
They all fall
E Bsus
Like a million p i e c e s
Bsus A
A tickertape parade high
A E Bsus A
And now you're free to fly
VERSE 1:
A G#m
Carryin' a millstone malaise
G#m C#
It's been pulling down your gaze
C#
You pound the pavement
Bsus
It don't give or care
Bsus A
This weight ain't yours to bear
A G#m
Why you holdin' grudges in old jars?
G#m C#
Why you wanna show off all your scars?
C# Bsus
What's it gonna take to lay a few burdens down?
Bsus
It's a beautiful sound
CHORUS
VERSE 2:
A G#m
When that muffled sigh
G#m C#
Says your barely getting by
C# Bsus
Cut your burdens loose and just simplify
Bsus A
S i m p l i f y
A G#m
This is not your floor
G#m C#
You're going higher than before
C#
Drop the weight now
Bsus
Wait for the lookout guide
Bsus
Look outside
CHORUS (At the end, do not go to A, instead go to the bridge)
BRIDGE:
G#m Ebm G#m
You've gotta lay that burden down
Ebm G#m
You've gotta lay that burden down
Ebm B
It's time to leave your burdens in a pyre
B C# G#m
Set a bonfire
Ebm G#m
Cause when you lay your burdens down
Ebm
When you drop them burdens
B
What a free-fall
B
What a thrill

Bury them all

In a landfill
