lighten up the load

CAPO 4th Fret 

                C           E           F               C 
I've been waiting in this station for what seems like a year 
        C                    E           F                 G 
It's midday now but I don't trust the clocks they have in here 
         C              E               F                G 
And maybe 'round the corner you'll be stepping off that bus 
      F           Am               F              Am 
And then I will remember what it feels like to be us 
 

And now the fog is creeping 'round the factories and farms 
I hope to hell you'll make it to assail me with your charms 
'Cause all I want to do now Babe is hold you in my arms 


 Am                F            Am                 F 
So put your bags beside me Baby right here in the road 
 Am                 G           C 
Put 'em down and lighten up the load 
 F                  G           C 
Put 'em down and lighten up the load 

 
I wonder how you'll look at me after all this time 
I wonder how much things have rearranged within your mind 
'Cause I'll be so relieved to see you stepping off that bus 
'Cause then I will remember what it fells like to be us 

Will you stand here smiling with your hands upon your hips 
Wearing the same lipstick I last tasted on your lips 
'Cause I just want you right now Baby at my fingertips 

So put your bags beside me Baby right here in the road 
Put 'em down and lighten up the load 
Put 'em down and lighten up the load 


Am                  F         E              Am 
If what you're carrying is as heavy as my heart 
         E          F             Am       G 
You'll need a weeks recovery here within my arms 


So put your bags beside me Baby right here in the road 
Put 'em down and lighten up the load 

So as I'm waiting in this station feeling famished and afraid 
The 8:15 from London comes in 8 minutes delayed 
And as I'm searching for your features I'm rehearsing what I'll say 

"Put your bags beside me Baby right here in the road... 
Put 'em down and lighten up the load 
Put 'em down and lighten up the load"
