[Chorus]
G D Bm D G
Slow down easy, I’ve been hauling a heavy soul
G D Bm
And don’t you know, honey it’s time
G D Bm D G
Slow down easy, so much trouble got a heavy toll
G D Bm
Take my hand, won’t you be mine
[Verse]
Em Bm
We were born homesick, the plot was understood
Em G
We put away all the worry we could keep
Em Bm
Maybe I’m too burdened to tremble like I should
Em A
Maybe you’re too sick to go too deep
