[Intro]
E MajorE Esus4Esus4 E MajorE

[Verse]
    E MajorE       G#G#
Take it down while you lie
     A augmentedA        A minorAm
it's been so long since I saw you there
  E MajorE     G#G#       C# minorC#m
and I will no longer be your whipping boy
   F#7F#7
it's taking me a long time
   A augmentedA
and it's taking me a long time

        E MajorE      G#G#
And you should know how the heart
    A augmentedA         A minorAm
is made of the sum of the lover's parts
  E MajorE      G#G#         C# minorC#m
but me, I cannot allow this thing to disappear
  F#7F#7
or lose it in the sunshine
  A augmentedA
or lose it in the sunlight

[Chorus]
       E MajorE      C# minorC#m
And I came to tell you (Ah........)
    A augmentedA        BB
what I told you now you know
       E MajorE      C# minorC#m
this precious burden (Ah........)
    A augmentedA        BB
on our shoulders let it go
     E MajorE      E7E7
and it took a long time (it took a long time)
     A augmentedA          A minorAm        E MajorE
you were picking up what you should have left behind
      F#7F#7       A augmentedA      E MajorE Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
and that's bound to make a mess o'me

[Solo]
E MajorE G#G# A augmentedA A minorAm E MajorE G#G# C# minorC#m F#7F#7 A augmentedA

[Verse]
     E MajorE    G#G#
So would you call or would you write
   A augmentedA    A minorAm
can't be harder than it is tonight
E MajorE G#G#   C# minorC#m
and I'm staring blankly at this paper moon
F#7F#7
shining at the slack jaw
   A augmentedA
and it's shining at the slack jaw

    E MajorE G#G#
So send for me to your side
    A augmentedA      A minorAm
there's no stronger love than a love denied
EG#  C# minorC#m
and I wear my heart upon my tennis shoes
F#7F#7
the laces always untied
  A augmentedA
and I'm standing on the upside

[Chorus]
       E MajorE      C# minorC#m
And I came to tell you (Ah........)
    A augmentedA        BB
what I told you now you know
       E MajorE      C# minorC#m
this precious burden (Ah........)
    A augmentedA        BB
on our shoulders let it go
     E MajorE      E7E7
and it took a long time (it took a long time)
     A augmentedA          A minorAm        E MajorE
you were picking up what you should have left behind
      F#7F#7       A augmentedA      E MajorE Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
and that's bound to make a mess o'me

[Solo]
E MajorE G#G# A augmentedA A minorAm E MajorE G#G# C# minorC#m F#7F#7 A augmentedA

[Chorus]
       E MajorE      C# minorC#m
And I came to tell you (Ah........)
    A augmentedA        BB
what I told you now you know
       E MajorE      C# minorC#m
this precious burden (Ah........)
    A augmentedA        BB
on our shoulders let it go
     E MajorE      E7E7
and it took a long time (it took a long time)
     A augmentedA          A minorAm        E MajorE
you were picking up what you should have left behind
      F#7F#7       A augmentedA      E MajorE Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
