[Intro]
D G A x8
 
[Verse 1]
    D
And you were carrying
  G              A              D
A lot of weight upon your shoulders
 
Shrugging it off like
   G          A
It don't even matter
 
    D                        G
And I was caught holding the door
              A           D
For an old bowlegged stranger
 
And he looked at me like
        G           A
I ain't done him a favor
 
    A G D  A G D
But oh, oh
 
[Verse 2]
    D
And you were walking down
    G              A            D
The street in your patent leather
 
And wearing it out 'cause
         G      A
It looks better weathered
 
    D                           G
And you were caught holding the door
              A           D
For an old bowlegged stranger
 
And he looked at you
          G          A
Like he'd never been better
    A G D  A G D
But oh, oh
 
[Instrumental]
D G D A G A
 
[Verse 3]
G         D     F#m      Em             D
Don't be angry, don't be sad, don't be blue
    F#
And why on earth should you do
      Bm       A       G
What God wants you to do
           G               Gm
When he's got more than a few
G                      Gm
Manuals from which to choose?
 
         E
And the sadness you have
        Gm
Is the love that you feel
           E
Trying to turn himself
                      A Aaug
Into something that's real
 
[Instrumental]
D G A x4
 
[Verse 4]
    D
And you were carrying
  G               A             D
A lot of weight upon your shoulders
 
And shrugging it off like
   G          A
It don't even matter
    D                        G
And I was caught holding the door
           A                 D
For you in threatening weather
 
And you looked at me like
      G           A
You'd never been better
 
[Outro]

You were
Carrying a lot of weight upon your shoulders
And shrugging it off like
It didn't even matter
And I was
Caught holding a door for an old bowlegged stranger
And he looked at me like
I ain't done him a favor
And oh...
You were
Walking down the street in your patent leather
And wearing it out 'cause
It looks better weathered
You were
Caught holding a door for an old bowlegged stranger
And he looked at you like
He'd never been better
But oh...
Don't be angry
Don't be sad, don't be blue
And why on earth should you do what god wants you to do
When he's got more than a few
Manuals from which to choose?
And the sadness you have
Is the love that you feel
Trying to turn itself into something that's real...
You were
Carrying a lot of weight upon your shoulders
And shrugging it off like
It didn't even matter
And I was
Caught holding a door for you in threatening weather
And you looked at me like
You'd never been better...
