Chords

* = Strum Once [Verse 1]
                C
I think you say sorry too much

                G
I think you got issues with trust

         Am                          G            F
From the voices in your head that say that you're too hard to love

                  C                                  G
I think you still live with the ghosts of people you needed the most

     Am               G                           F
That let you down and taught you how to keep your closet door closed

    Am                  G              F
But I've been there and I would rather die

     Am                 G                      F
Than watch you drown in tears that you need to cry
[Chorus 1]
C
You can talk, you can talk to me

G
I can tell that you're not okay

Am                         G     F
You can spill your guts, I won't leave

                          C
You are not a burden to me
You can talk, you can talk to me
G
Even down in your darkest place

Am                        G
You can let your skeletons scream
You are not a burden to me [Verse 2] C G Am F
                 C
I think that you never get heard

                G
By thinkin' someone's got it worse

     Am                      G                F
Been minimized so many times that you believe it's deserved

                    C
I think you've been silent since youth

                  G
'Cause every time you speak your truth

       Am           G
You're stigmatized, re-traumatized

   C                  F
By all the things you didn't choose

        Am                     G
I don't mind your darker side, you can lose control

F          Am             G             F
I'd rather hear your hell than see your funeral
[Chorus 1]
C
You can talk, you can talk to me

G
I can tell that you're not okay

Am                         G     F
You can spill your guts, I won't leave

                          C
You are not a burden to me
You can talk, you can talk to me
G
Even down in your darkest place

Am                        G
You can let your skeletons scream
You are not a burden to me [Bridge]
F                 Am
The monsters that you're holding back

G
There's no need to dress them up

F               Am
Your ugly truth gave depth to you

G
Now there's so much more to love
[Pre-Chorus]
G
You can talk, you can talk to me

G* C*
I can tell that you're not okay
[Chorus 2]
Am                               G
You can spill your guts, I won't leave

F
You are not a burden to me

C
You can talk, you can talk to me

G
Even down in your darkest place

Am                            G
Don't ever be ashamed of your needs

F                         C  G
You are not a burden to me
[Outro]
Am               G
You are not a burden

F                    C
You are not a burden (You can talk, you can talk to me)

G                        Am
You are not a burden to me (you can talk, you can talk to me)

              F                             F
You are not a burden, burden, burden, burden

F            Am
The monsters that you're holding back

G
There's no need to dress them up

F                    Am
Your ugly truth gave depth to you

G                                G
Now there's so much more to love
