D#mBF#A#D#mB
There's been a lot of miscommunication lately
F#C#A lot of wait and see and too many maybes
D#mBF#C#
And I wanna believe that your faith in me is as strong as it was when we thought we'd be unbreakable
D#mB
All the words we say end up distorted
F#C#
From skinbreak to heartache without warning
D#mBF#
And you don't mean it and I don't either, we get so close to being defeated by circumstance
C#G#mB
Do we stand a chance to rise above it all
G#mB
But I feel so small
D#m
Lay your weapons down
B
And I'll take my armor off
C#
Say what we need to say
A#
And love before it's lost
D#m
'Cause what we have is real
B
And real can hurt sometimes
C#A#
But just because it hurts doesn't mean that we say goodbye
D#m
So lay your weapons down
B
Ooh
C#
Lay your weapons down
A#
Ooh
D#mB
Feel so uncomfortable in this silence
F#C#
Behind these invisible walls we build inside us
D#mBF#
So what's gonna give and what will it take for us to admit that we're both gonna break if we stay right here
C#
Don't wanna stay right here
D#m
Lay your weapons down
B
And I'll take my armor off
C#
Say what we need to say
A#
And love before it's lost
D#m
'Cause what we have is real
B
And real can hurt sometimes
C#A#
But just because it hurts doesn't mean that we say goodbye
D#m
So lay your weapons down
B
Ooh
C#
Lay your weapons down
A#
Ooh
D#mBC#A#G#mB
I wanna rise above it all
D#mC#
Will you hold me, just hold me
D#m
And lay your weapons down
B
And I'll take my armor off
C#
Say what we need to say
A#
And love before it's lost
D#m
'Cause what we have is real
B
And real can hurt sometimes
C#A#
But just because it hurts doesn't mean that we say goodbye
D#m
So lay your weapons down
B
Ooh
C#m
Lay your weapons down
A#
Ooh
D#m
Lay your weapons down
B
Ooh
F#
Lay your weapons down
A#
Ooh
