Capo: 4th fret

[Intro]

G G/F# Em C
G G/F# Em C

[Verse 1]

G G/F# Em C
If you ask me where I’m going
G G/F# Em C
I’ll only tell you where I’ve been
G G/F# Em C
Passing time and neon signs
G G/F# Em C
And highways that know you like a friend

[Chorus]

D C G
The burden gets so heavy
D C G
In a war with wanderlust
Em C G
One day I’ll lay my sword down
G D G
And leave it in the dust

[Interlude]

G G/F# Em C
G G/F# Em C

[Verse 2]

G G/F# Em C
I’m in the kitchen, doing dishes
G G/F# Em C
Picking out a record to play
G G/F# Em C
But if you ask me what I’m thinking
G G/F# Em C
I’ll tell you I’d give anything to stay

[Chorus]

D C G
The burden gets so heavy
D C G
In a war with wanderlust
Em C G
One day I’ll lay my sword down
G D G
And leave it in the dust

[Bridge]

D Am
I got my armor, got my keys
D Am
I got everything I need
D Am
No lights left on, no long goodbyes
Em C
Just the road and a million broken lines

[Verse 3]

G G/F# Em C
So there you have it, a new beginning
G G/F# Em C
Is always one suitcase away
G G/F# Em C
For me the leaving is just like breathing
G G/F# Em C
Until the price is more than I can pay

[Chorus]

D C G
The burden gets so heavy
D C G
With dreams that you can’t trust
Em C G
One day I’ll lay my sword down
G D G G/F#
And leave it in the dust
Em C G G D G
One day I’ll lay my sword down, and leave it in the dust
