Intro: Am Em F C G (x2) Verse 1: Am Em I wish you would've told me sooner F C G You hid the hell inside so well Am Em It's terrifying how the devil on your shoulder F C G Drug you through the coals and I could never tell Pre-chorus: Am Em And I wish you called. Before the alcohol F C G Started whispering. The weight was yours alone Am Em And I know you want. To fix it on your own F G Am But it's life or death and you just need to know Chorus: F C You are not a burden. You're not your past G Am You're not your first mistake. And you're not your last G F Am Don't let these demons tell you. There's no way out of the dark Em F C That's how you feel. But that's not who you are Verse 2: Am Em We'll just sit here on your front porch (Mm-mm-mm-mm) F C G You don't have to say a lot Am Em I know the moment that you reach out for some help F C G Always feels like its the moment that you've lost Pre-chorus: Am Em And I'll be right here. 'Til those flames appear F C G And I'll walk down every godforsaken mile Am Em 'Cause I'd rather carry. The pain you buried F G Am Than lift your coffin down an aisle Chorus: F C You are not a burden. You're not your past G Am You're not your first mistake. And you're not your last G F Am Don't let these demons tell you. There's no way out of the dark Em F F That's how you feel. But that's not who you are Post-chorus: F C G Am G F Woah..., woah... That's not who you are F Am Em F Woah..., woah... Bridge: F C G Woah, I think it's high time that you fall apart and (Hey) Am G F You're suffocating keeping up that guard and (Woah) C G You can't hold that Appalachian charm up anymore (Hey) Pre-chorus: G F So don't you dare go saying you're a burden C G No, it's a privilege to be right here where you're hurting Am G F I can't believe you've never mentioned a word and Am Em And just in case after this time you haven't heard it Chorus: Em F C Well, you are not a burden. You're not your past G Am You're not your first mistake. And you're not your last G F Am Don't let these demons tell you. There's no way out of the dark Em F F That's how you feel. But that's not who you are Post-chorus: F C G Am G F Woah..., woah... That's not who you are F Am Em F C Woah..., woah...
