What did you do with your burden and your cross
        C            D               Em
Did you carry it yourself or did you crack
Am                    D
You and I know that a burden and a cross

Can only be carried on one man's back

G               D         G
  All my life I wanted to roam
   C         D           Em
To go to the ends of the earth
        Am                          D
But the earth really ends where you started to roam
G                     D         G
You and I know what a circle is worth

G                    D         G
Let's drink a cup to what went down
        C        D         Em
There's not much left to reveal
  Am                            D
I think I changed my mind after what went down
      G                      D      G
As to who in the end got the better deal


♫ Interlude:  C  G  C  G

  Fare thee well and thanks a lot

I know that we promised we would keep in touch
    G                      D       G
But you and I know that we both forgot
