CHORUS: 
 
|    E . .  .| 
They all fall 
|E    .    .  .|Bsus  . .        .| 
Like a million  r a i n d r o p s 
|Bsus     .  . |A .   .| 
Falling from a blue sky 
|A      .   .         .|Bsus..|Bsus..| 
Kissin' your cares goodbye 
|    E . .  .| 
They all fall 
|E    .    .  .|Bsus .   .| 
Like a million  p i e c e s 
| Bsus .   .  .|A . .   .| 
A tickertape parade high 
|   A         .    . .|E..|Bsus..|A . 
And now you're free to fly 
 
VERSE 1: 
 
 .    .|   A  . .      .    |G#m . 
Carryin' a millstone malaise 
 .   .   |G#m  .  .        .|C#  . 
It's been pulling down your gaze 
    .     .  |C#  . 
You pound the pavement 
 . .    |Bsus   .    .| 
It don't give or care 
|    Bsus       .      .   .   |A . 
This weight ain't yours to bear 
 
.       .      |A         .   .    . |G#m . 
Why you holdin' grudges in old jars? 
.       .    |G#m     .   .     .|C#  . 
Why you wanna show off all your scars? 
.         .    |C#   .     .  .  |Bsus   .  . 
What's it gonna take to lay a few burdens down? 
.     |Bsus    .     .  .| 
It's a beautiful sound 
 
CHORUS 
 
VERSE 2: 
 
 .    .  | A .   . .  |G#m . 
When that muffled sigh 
 .    .  |G#m   .       .. |C# . 
Says your barely getting by 
 .      .|C#    .     .    .   |Bsus . . . 
Cut your burdens loose and just simplify 
|Bsus      .. . |A . 
S i m p l i f y 
.    . |A   .   ..    |G#m . 
This is not your floor 
       .   .| G#m .     .  .   |C# . 
You're going higher than before 
.      .|      C#  .       
Drop the weight now 
    .   .   |Bsus   .     . . 
Wait for the lookout guide 
|Bsus  .  .  .| 
Look outside 
 
CHORUS (At the end, do not go to A, instead go to the bridge) 
 
BRIDGE: 
 
|G#m.        .    |D#m .    . .   |G#m  . . 
       You've gotta lay that burden down 
       .    |D#m .    . .   |G#m  . . 
You've gotta lay that burden down 
     .      |D#m   .    .  .   |B   ..    . 
It's time to leave your burdens in a pyre 
|B .    C# .  |G#m . . 
Set a bonfire 
 
       .      |D#m .    .    . |G#m  . . 
Cause when you lay your burdens down 
 .      |D#m .    .    .  | 
When you drop them burdens 
|B    .    .    .| 
What a free-fall 
B     .      . .| 
What a thrill 
|A#aug   .   . .| 
Bury them all 
|A#aug . C#  .    | 
 In   a  landfill
