G C Em (2x)
Mmmm


[Verse 1]
G             C                     Em
 I'd shrink myself to make you feel taller
G               C                           Em
 And I would complain so your problems felt smaller
          G               C
You'd say I was too much, I was too loud
   Em
So I would say sorry and keep my voice down
G             C                     Em
 I'd shrink myself to make you feel taller


[Chorus]
G      C     Em
Burden on my shoulders
G                          C                Em
All of your words that you put on me like a weight
        G       C        Em
Yeah, I used to have bad posture
                      G       C        Em
But since you've been gone, I stand up straight


[Verse 2]
G            C                 Em
 People keep telling me I look different
G            C                      Em
 Most days I feel like I grew a few inches
      G                  C
But I still catch myself questioning me
        Em
There's still parts of you that I still try to please, just
G        C             Em
 Phantom pains of your opinion


[Chorus]
G      C     Em
Burden on my shoulders
G                          C                Em
All of your words that you put on me like a weight
        G       C        Em
Yeah, I used to have bad posture
                      G       C        Em
But since you've been gone, I stand up straight


[Bridge]
G   C     Em
 Ooh, I'm taller now
G   C      Em
 Ooh, head in the clouds
G   C             Em
 Ooh, and I'm not coming down


[Chorus]
G*     C*    Em*
Burden on my shoulders
G*                         C*               Em*
All of your words that you put on me like a weight
        G       C        Em
Yeah, I used to have bad posture
                      G       C        Em
But since you've been gone, I stand up straight


[Outro]
G      C            Em
 (Ooh-ooh, ooh, I'm taller now)
    G        C          Em
Ooh (Ooh-ooh, ooh, head in the clouds)
                                          G
Since you've been gone, since you've been gone
         C        Em
(Ooh-ooh, I'm not comin' down, no)
                  G*      C*       Em*
Since you've been gone, I stand up straight
