Intro

Verse i

Maybe you don't know me anymore than I know you

And I wouldn't blame you if you walked away

 I've been watching you all evening

With the teardrops in your eyes

 And it touches me more than I can say.

 You know I hate to think that someone

 Could have hurt someone like

 And at times like this I'd be right by your side

Chorus i

Lay your troubles on my shoulders

 Put your worries in my pocket

 Rest your love on me awhile

Lay your troubles on my shoulders

Put your worries in my pocket

 Rest your love on me a while

Verse ii

Saw you in the corner on the moment I walked in

 Saw your lonely face across the room

No, I won't forget it

And the way it might have been

 Oh, why did you have to leave so soon?

 You know I hate to think that someone

 Could have loved you more than me

 And if I was them I'd be right by your side

Chorus ii

Lay your troubles on my shoulders

 Put your worries in my pocket

 Rest your love on me awhile

Lay your troubles on my shoulders

 Put your worries in my pocket

 Rest your love on me awhile

Bridge

How long must I wait

For the last train to leave here

 And the last chance to go home

 Get to thinking I was born too soon

How long, honey

When the lovin' don't come

 It was there when you left me

Just didn't know how to begin (ah-oh)

Chorus iii

Lay your troubles on my shoulders

 Put your worries in my pocket

 Rest your love on me awhile

Lay your troubles on my shoulders

 Put your worries in my pocket

 Rest your love on me a____while

Outro

Lay your troubles on my shoulders

 Put your worries in my pocket

 Rest your love on me awhile

Lay your troubles on my shoulders

 Put your worries in my pocket

 Rest your love on me awhile
