Burden

C            Am
Chasing after maybes
             C
For my whole life
           Am
Was never scary
          Fmaj7
Until the day
              D/F#
I came across something
         Dm/F
That was certain
        C
For the first time
      Am                         C
I was shown what my future would be
           Am
And it was awful
             Fmaj7
There was no escape
                D/F#
Except for this one way
         Dm/F
That was mentioned
       C
And it offered
     Am
Ever-quiet
              C
At a terrible price
               Am
Just one whole life
                      Fmaj7
And you'll be on your way
                D/F#
You know if you stay
            Dm/F
You will be such a burden
D/F#                Dm/F
Spare them all that needless hurting


[Pre-Chorus]
   C
If you choose to stay
       Am
You'll drag all your friends
C
Around in the mud
Am
You should get ovеr
Fmaj7
Yourself and give up
G6
Fate has been clеar
C
I don't think I will
  Am
I think I'll keep going
       C
Though I'm not convinced
     Am
That things will be good for me
    Fmaj7
I'm no longer sure
     G6
That they will be so bad
       Fmaj7
And if that stays a maybe
Continúa después del anuncio
      G6
Then I'll stick around


[Verse]
C             Am
What a horrid liar
                 C
It turned out to be
               Am
That said my future
                Fmaj7
Would just be a waste
                  D/F#
Thought it was my fate
               Dm/F
I thought I'll trust this
       C                  Am
Then I saw, oh wow you're lying
          C              Am
I will be fine and I was right
                   Fmaj7
For the rest of my days
           D/F#
I'll be on guard for
         Dm/F
That one demon's voice
    C             Am
And sometimes even now
                 C
It sounds pretty real
                Am
And when people smile
             Fmaj7
I just can't relate
            D/F#
I know if I wait
         Dm/F
A little longer
      D/F#
I can win against
    Dm/F
The thing that did this


[Chorus]
Am
Why, why, why
          Em  Em/C Em/B
I used to ask
Bb
Now it's that same question
       F
Asking why did I make it out
    Bb
And what am I to do with
       F
My new second chance at life
G
Write songs about the

Sunrise that destroys eternal night


[Pre-Chorus]
C
Different from those
    Am
Who left for the quiet
C
They were all soldiers
    Am
Who chose ever silence
         Fmaj7
And they have my respect
G
Surely I understand
C
Now something's changed
    Am
The wind or the current
C
There from the ground
   Am
As if out of nowhere
  Fmaj7
A thought that was sleeping
     G6
Rose out of the sea
Fmaj7
Guided my past self
    G
And now walks with me


[Bridge]
C Am C Am
Ooooooh

Ooooooh

Ooooooh

C
If you choose to stay
       Am
You'll drag all your friends
C
Around in the mud
Am
You should get over
Fmaj7
Yourself and give up
G6
Fate has been clear
      C
Those terrible words
  Am
I said to myself
C
So how could I ever
Am
Expect to do well
         Fmaj7
When the cruelest, and the meanest
        G6
And the foulest disease
        Fmaj7
Gets to use my own voice
   G6
To say that to me
