_ _ _ _ Whenever your [D] load gets heavy, _ _ _ [Em] and you begin to [G] feel like the weight [C] of the world is bearing [G] down on your shoulder,
_ _ [D] _
_ [Em] what [G] you need to do then is just steal _ [C] away [D] somewhere, _ [G] _ and bow [C] down, bow down, [G] bow down on your _ knees,
[C] and look up [G] towards heaven and [Gm] tell the Lord these words right [Am] here.

_ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ for [G] I _ don't _ _ have _
[D] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
[D] nobody _ [G] _ to share. _ _ _ _ _

_ [C] _ _ [G] Oh Lord, _ _ _ _ _
[D] please _ _ don't [G] _ _ _ [C] _ leave [G] _ me. _ _ _
