G It was a weight on my shoulders A strain on my back D G But I loved to have you right there by my side (You couldn't take it, you couldn't take it) It used to be when we were alone We shared such beautiful moments (But lately it's been such a mess) (You couldn't take it, you couldn't take it) Chorus: C Go on and say it G Was my love too much for you to take?
