[Verse 1]
F#m F#m7/E Ebdim D
I'm a river, I keep running on
F#m F#m7/E Ebdim D
I'm a pillar you got used to leaning on
F#m F#m7/E
Underneath it, there's a person
Ebdim D
I'm a woman and I'm hurting
C#m Bm C#m
'Cause I feel like I'm holding up the world
[Chorus]
A F#m
When I lay this burden down
D Bm
Who's gonna take it up for me?
A F#m
When you run me in the ground
D Bm
That's the day you're gonna see
A Bm F#m
For all I've done, all alone
Em D Bm
Just for a moment can I not be strong?
A G
So how 'bout now, oh can I lay
D
This burden down?
