Gm        D#            C
I've got trouble on my mind
I see the cracks in the open sky
I feel the lightning illuminate the pain inside
I don't know what I will find deep inside

Chorus:
                          Gm
I feel the weight of the world
F               D#  Cm
Weighing on my mind
                   Gm
I can't carry the earth
F         D#     Cm Gm F D#
I'm not strong enough

           Cm           Gm F D#
I've got trouble on my mind
           Cm
I've got trouble on my.

With every joy that you display
A little piece of me just fades away
And all around me, the fallen angels hit the ground
And I can't catch them as they're raining down

Chorus

I've got trouble on my mind
I've got trouble on my mind


Cm      A#  Gm         F Cm     A#
Set me free, shed this off with me
Gm               F
Don't let me down, don't let me go
Gm                 F                 Gm
Don't let me down bare this weight alone
Gm            F                  D#
Don't let me down, don't let me go

Chorus

Don't let me down, don't let me go
I've got trouble on my mind
Don't let me down, don't let me go
I've got trouble on my mind
Don't let me down, don't let me go
I've got trouble on my mind
Don't let me down, don't let me go
I've got trouble on my mind
