Capo 1

Intro: Cmaj7 G D G
  
Cmaj7       G         D       G 
cold is the night without you here  
         Cmaj7    G       D     G 
just your absence ringing in my ears  
Cmaj7       G          D        Em7 
hard is the heart that feels no fear  
Cmaj7       G        D    G 
without the bad, the good disappears  
Cmaj7       G         D        G  
long is the road that leads me home  
    Cmaj7  G            D    G 
and longer still when I walk alone 
Cmaj7         G          D        Em7  
bitter is the thought of all that time 
      Cmaj7          G        D         G 
spent searching for something I'll never find  

Cmaj7     G      Em7       D 
take this burden away from me  
    Cmaj7 G D               G 
and bury it before it buries me  

Cmaj7        G         D         G 
many are the days I've wanted to cease 
Cmaj7      G        D         G  
lay myself down and find some relief 
Cmaj7        G         D       Em7  
heavy is the head that gets no sleep 
             Cmaj7 G         D   G 
we carry our lives around in our memories  

Cmaj7 G        Em7  D 
take away this apathy 
    Cmaj7 G  Em7            D  
and bury it before it buries me 
  
Cmaj7         G           D       G 
steady is the hand that's come to terms  
         Cmaj7   G      D      G 
with the lessons it has had to learn  
Cmaj7         G           D      Em7 
I've seen the things that I must do  
    Cmaj7     G       D          G 
but Lord, this road is meant for two 
   Cmaj7  G     D        G  
so I am waiting here for you 
  
Cmaj7   G        Em7    D 
take my hand and set me free 
Cmaj7    G          Em7       D   
take my burdens and bury them deep 
Cmaj7   G       Em7      D  
take my burden away from me 
Cmaj7     G   D   
and bury it before 
Cmaj7  G   D   
bury it before 
Cmaj7  G  D              G  
bury it before it buries me
