Transcribed By: Kenneth Wilber ([email protected])
Eb
Maybe you don’t know me anymore than I know you
Bb7
And I wouldn’t blame you if you walked away
Fm Bb7 Fm Bb7
I’ve been watching you all evening with those teardrops in your eyes
Fm Bb7 Eb
And it touches me much more than I can say
Eb
You Know I’d hate to think that someone
Could have hurt someone like you
Eb7
And if I was him
Ab
I’d be right by your side
Chorus:
Ab Bb7 Eb Gm Ab
Lay your troubles on my shoulder, put your worries in my pocket
Bb7 Eb Eb7
Rest your love on me awhile
Ab Bb7 Eb Gm Ab
Lay your troubles on my shoulder, put your worries in my pocket
Bb7 Eb
Rest your love on me awhile
Saw you in the corner from the moment I walked in,
Saw your lonely face across the room,
No I won’t forget it and the way it could’ve been
Why’d you have to leave so soon
You know I’d hate to think that someone
Could have loved you more than me
And at times like this
I’d be right by your side
Repeat Chorus:
(additional verses from the original version that conway did not record)
Bridge:
Bb7
How long must I wait for that last train to be here
Ab
And the last chance to come
Eb Bb7 Eb
Just to think that I was born too soon
Bb7
How long honey, when the lovin’ don’t come
Ab Eb
I was there when you left
Bb7 Eb
Just didn’t know how to begin
Repeat Chorus:
Instrumental Solo using chorus chords
Repeat Chorus:
Ab Bb Eb Gm Ab
Lay your troubles on my shoulder, put your worries in my pocket
Bb7 Eb
Rest your love on me awhile
