Million Pieces

INTRO:

|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..        .    |D#m .    . .   |G#m  . .
       You've gotta lay that burden down
       .    |D#m .    . .   |G#m  . .
You've gotta lay that burden down
     .      |D#m   .    .  .   |B   ..    .
It's time to leave your burdens in a pyre
|B .    C# .  |G#m . .
Set a bonfire

       .      |D#m .    .    . |G#m  . .
Cause when you lay your burdens down
 .      |D#m .    .    .  |
When you drop them burdens
|B    .    .    .|
What a free-fall
B     .      . .|
What a thrill
|A#aug   .   . .|
Bury them all
|A#aug . C#  .    |
 In   a  landfill
