Stars & Sirens
“Bit of Burden”
Capo IV
Chords: Verses – Em, C, G, D
Chorus – G, Em, G, Em, G, D, G
V1 A carousel around a winding bay
Music calls the evening in the distance
Sand between the toes draws an arrow of innocence
V2 In a fragile heart rides an eager fear
She trusts the hand that guides her near
A look inside the eye, tied to the wind
And the world keeps on riding around…riding
CH You curse the day when you’re
Looking for change, know when
You can’t speed up the ride
Digging for reason
Leave your comfort
Lose yourself, it’ll be alright
V3 A heavy weight above your lonely shoulders
And an anchor tied around the waist
She’d rather shed the bit of burden
Draped around, laced within
CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL
V2 In a fragile heart rides an eager fear
She trusts the hand that guides her near
A look inside the eye, tied to the wind
And the world keeps riding around…
Riding…
Riding…
Riding…
A carousel around a winding bay
Music calls the evening in the distance
Sand between the toes draws an arrow of innocence
In a fragile heart rides an eager fear
She trusts the hand that guides her near
A look inside the eye, tied to the wind
And the world keeps on riding around…riding
You curse the day when you’re
Looking for change, know when
You can’t speed up the ride
Digging for reason
Leave your comfort
Lose yourself, it’ll be alright
A heavy weight above your lonely shoulders
And an anchor tied around the waist
She’d rather shed the bit of burden
Draped around, laced within
In a fragile heart rides an eager fear
She trusts the hand that guides her near
A look inside the eye, tied to the wind
And the world keeps riding around…
Riding…
