[Verse 1]
Bbmaj7                               Cm7
Heard you coming in the back door at three a.m
                 Bbmaj7                     Cm7
You spent the night in the hospital sitting next to your best friend
Bbmaj7                            Cm7
Woke up three hours later just to go downtown
     Bbmaj7                                        Cm7
I've known you long enough to see it's starting to wear you down

[Interlude]
Bbmaj7  Cm7  x2

[Chorus]
Ebmaj7        Dm7           Cm7
Don't put the world on your shoulders
          Ebmaj7  Dm7            Cm7
Cause you know it ain't your load to bear

[Verse 2]
  Bbmaj7                             Cm7
I ask you how you'd be worse and you muster up a smile
  Bbmaj7                           Cm7
I wish you'd take a minute for yourself once and a while
             Bbmaj7                        Cm7
You've got a bigger heart than anyone that I have ever known
        Bbmaj7                         Cm7
But you got to see it's killing me the way you're carrying on so

[Chorus]
Ebmaj7        Dm7           Cm7
Don't put the world on your shoulders
          Ebmaj7  Dm7            Cm7
Cause you know it ain't your load to bear
Ebmaj7        Dm7           Cm7
Don't put the world on your shoulders
          Ebmaj7  Dm7            Cm7
Cause you know it ain't your load to bear alone

[Bridge]
D7                 Ebmaj7
(Feel the pressure rising)
                            D7                Ebmaj7
Feel that pressure building up inside of you
                             D7               Ebmaj7
Don't know what to do, don't know what to do
                      D7              Ebmaj7
It's too much for one person to hold
    F7       Bbmaj7   Cm7
Or to hold onto

[Chorus]
     Ebmaj7        Dm7           Cm7
Woah don't put the world on your shoulders
          Ebmaj7  Dm7            Cm7
Cause you know it ain't your load to bear alone
Ebmaj7        Dm7           Cm7
Don't put the world on your shoulders baby
Ebmaj7  Dm7            Cm7
Woah it ain't your load to bear

(Don't put the world on your shoulders)
