Eb
Maybe you don't know me anymore than I know you
                                        Bb7
And I wouldn't blame you if you walked away
              Fm              Bb7                Fm              Bb7
I've been watching you all evening with those teardrops in your eyes
         Fm             Bb7             Eb
And it touches me much more than I can say


Eb
You Know I'd  hate to think that someone

Could have hurt someone like you
       Eb7
And if I was him
                      Ab
I'd be right by your side

Chorus:
Ab          Bb7              Eb               Gm           Ab
Lay your troubles on my shoulder, put your worries in my pocket
           Bb7         Eb    Eb7
Rest your love on me awhile
Ab          Bb7              Eb              Gm            Ab
Lay your troubles on my shoulder, put your worries in my pocket
            Bb7         Eb
Rest your love on me awhile

Saw you in the corner from the moment I walked in,
Saw your lonely face across the room,
No I won't forget it and the way it could've been
Why'd you have to leave so soon

You know I'd hate to think that someone
Could have loved you more than me
And at times like this
I'd be right by your side


Repeat Chorus:


(additional verses from the original version that conway did not record)


Bridge:
Bb7
How long must I wait for that last train to be here
         Ab
And the last chance to come
Eb                Bb7              Eb
Just to think that I was born too soon
Bb7
How long honey, when the lovin' don't come
        Ab                 Eb
I was there when you left
                  Bb7     Eb
Just didn't know how to begin

Repeat Chorus:

Instrumental Solo using chorus chords


Repeat Chorus:

Ab          Bb             Eb                Gm            Ab
Lay your troubles on my shoulder, put your worries in my pocket
            Bb7        Eb
Rest your love on me awhile
