Blame and the Burden
Faixa 3
D G I got a pocket full of reason why it isn’t ever me D Every headline makes a villain I can point it on my feet G If I stack my little alibis, maybe I can pass the test Bm A G But the weight behind my ribs keeps pressing on my chest Em G I swear I’m almost innocent until the quiet starts to talk Bm A G The echo won’t equip me, it just follows when I walk D Bm Blame and the burden, I’ve carried both D Try to outrun it, put it on my soul Em I can’t hide my hands, but I can’t hide the load G G7 G D Blame and the burden, I can’t carry both G D I’ve thrown a thousand stones online I never felt them in my palm G Found a scapegoat for my failures Tried to pass the ticking bomb Bm A But when the mirror lights the room G Calls me by my name Em7 There’s no jury left to sway Em And I can’t shift the blame G If justice keeps a ledger A Mine is inked in every line Bm And I’ll do better A Can’t erase the stains I left behind Bm D The blame and the burden Bm I’ve carried both Tried to outrun it D Put it on my soul Em I can’t hide my hands, but I can’t hide the low G D Blame and the burden I can’t carry from G A The verdict would be heavy and the sentence would be right Bm A G But Jesus bore the weight I piled and shouldered it to life A A7 The Son of God went under it where I would surely break Em7 D He stood where I was guilty so the guilty could awake D D G D Blame and the burden I’ve carried both Bm G D Tried to outrun it, put it on my soul Em7 G I couldn’t lift the debt, I couldn’t pay what’s sold D Jesus took the burden, now He breaks the yoke G Bm Blame and the burden G G I don’t carry both
