Burden Down chords by Jennifer Hudson Guitar Chords

[Intro]
Em Em
Am C
Em Bm

[Verse 1]
Em G Am C
I’m a river, I keep running on
Em G Am C
I’m a pillar you got used to leaning on
Em Dm
Underneath it, there’s a person
Am C
I’m a woman and I’m hurting
Bm Am Bm
Cause I feel like I’m holding up the world

[Chorus]
G Em
When I lay this burden down
C Am
Who’s gonna take it up for me
G Em
When you run me in the ground
C Am
That’s the day you’re gonna see
G Am Em
For all I’ve done I’m alone
Dm C Am
Just for a moment can I not be strong
G F
So how ’bout now oh can I lay
C
This burden down

[Verse 2]
Em Am C
I deliver each and every time
Em Am C
I’m a giver, I don’t think about what’s mine
Em Am
You keep me asking, you keep taking
Am C
And that’s no reciprocation
Bm Am Bm
I shouldn’t have to do this by myself

[Chorus]
G Em
When I lay this burden down
C Am
Who’s gonna take it up for me
G Em
When you run me in the ground
C Am
That’s the day you’re gonna see
G Am Em
For all I’ve done I’m alone
Dm C Am
Just for a moment can I not be strong
G F
So how ’bout now oh can I lay
C
This burden down

[Bridge]
Em Dm Am C
I’m a river, I keep running on
Am Dm Am C
I’m a pillar, you’re used to leaning on
Bm C Bm
Just this once, oh just this once

[Chorus]
(Acapella)
N.C.
When I lay this burden down
Who’s gonna take it up for me
When you run me in the ground
That’s the day you’re gonna see
N.C.
For all I’ve done I’m alone
Just for a moment can I not be strong
So how ’bout now oh can I lay
This burden down
