Burden In My Hand

[Verse 1]
C             Cm7
Follow me into   the desert
   Cm7/Bb    D#5/A#       C
As thirsty as      you are
                     Cm7
Crack a smile and cut   your mouth
    Cm7/Bb     D#5/A# C
And drown in alcohol
                     Cm7
Cause down below the truth is lying
  Cm7/Bb      D#5/A# C
Beneath the riverbed
                            Cm7
So quench yourself and drink   the water
     Cm7/Bb     D#5/A#        C
That flows below      her head

[Pre-Chorus]
D# F     C5/G G D# F             C5/G G
   Oh, no          there she goes
D#      A#5   F   D#   F          D#
  Out in   the sunshine the sun is  mine
F           D#  C
 The sun is mine

[Chorus]
C              A#
 I shot my love  today,
G#        D#
would you cry for me
A# F# F C              A#
         I lost my head  again,
G#        D#
would you lie for me
A# F# F

[Verse 2]
C                      Cm7
Close your eyes and bow   your head
      Cm7/Bb            D#5/A#     C
I need      a little sym      pathy
                               Cm7         Cm7/Bb      D#5/A#
Cause fear is strong and love's   for everyone   Who is
      C
n't me
                            Cm7
So kill your health and kill   yourself
    Cm7/Bb          D#5/A#        C
And kill  everything      you love
                        Cm7
And if you live you can fall to pieces
   Cm7/Bb           D#5/A#        C
And      suffer with      my ghost

[Chorus]
C              A#
 I shot my love  today,
G#        D#
would you cry for me
A# F# F C              A#
         I lost my head  again,
G#        D#
would you lie for me
A# F# F
C             A#                G#     D#
 I left her in  the sand just a burden in my hand
A# F# F C              A#
         I lost my head  again,
G#        D#
would you cry for me
A# F# F

[Bridge]
G#7                    C
   Just a burden in my hand
D#                     F#
  Just an anchor on my heart
C                   D#
 Just a tumor in my head
        A#     F#  F
And I'm in the dark

[Verse 3]
   C             Cm7
So follow me into   the desert
   Cm7/Bb      D#5/A#       C
As desperate as      you are
                                    Cm7
Where the moon is glued to a picture   of heaven
    Cm7/Bb               D#5/A#         C
And all   the little pigs      have gone

[Pre-Chorus]
D# F     C5/G G D# F             C5/G G
   Oh, no          there she goes
D#      A#5   F   D#   F          D#
  Out in   the sunshine the sun is  mine
F           D#  C
 The sun is mine

[Chorus]
C              A#
 I shot my love  today,
G#        D#
would you cry for me
A# F# F C              A#
         I lost my head  again,
G#        D#
would you lie for me
A# F# F
C             A#                G#     D#
 I left her in  the sand just a burden in my hand
A# F# F C              A#
         I lost my head  again,
G#        D#
would you cry for me
A# F# F G#        D#        A# F# F
        Would you cry for me
