Million Pieces
Newsboys

[4/4] (Each period is a beat.)    Key of E     80 bpm

INTRO:
E . . . B . . . A . . . E . B .

CHORUS:
     E   .    .      .        B   .
They all fall Like a million  raindrops

B       .      A    .   .            .         B . . .
Falling from a blue sky Kissin' your cares goodbye

     E   .    .      .        B  .
They all fall Like a million  pieces

  B     .      A    .        .          .       E . B .
A tickertape parade high And now you're free to fly


VERSE 1:
A   .   .   .                 G#m  .  .  .
  Carryin' a millstone malaise It's been pulling down your gaze
C#   .    .    .                    B  . 
  You pound the pavement.  It don’t give or care.
B                 .
This weight ain't yours to bear
A       .        .    .               
  Why you holdin' grudges in old jars?
G#m     .   .     .                   C#
  Why you wanna show off all your scars?
C#        .       .               B       .
What's it gonna take to lay a few burdens down?
       B         .
It's a beautiful sound

CHORUS

VERSE 2:
A  .   .   .           G#m    .   .    .   
  When that muffled sigh says your barely getting by
C#     .       .     .            B  .   .   .  
  Cut your burdens loose and just simplify... Simplify
A     .     .    .       G#m  .  .  .
  This is not your floor.  You’re going higher than before
C#      .    .   .                   B  .  .  .
  Drop the weight now.  Wait for the lookout guide.  Look outside

CHORUS (At the end, do not go to A, instead go to the bridge)

BRIDGE:

G#m     .      D#m     .       G#m  .
  You've gotta lay that burden down
             D#m     .       G#m  .
You've gotta lay that burden down
             D#m   .            B   .
It's time to leave your burdens in a pyre
B       C#
Set a bonfire

G#m       .      D#m      .       G#m  .
  Cause when you lay your burdens down
         D#m     .
When you drop them burdens
 B     .
What a free-fall
B      .
What a thrill
A#aug    .
Bury them all
A#aug        C#
 In   a  landfill
