GF#mD
For I shall carry this weight
EmDEmDG
Of the words I wished to say
GDEmDEmD
For just one moment, I'll give back all my yesterdays
GEmBmEmDEmDG
For all of the songs no longer sound the same
EmDF#mDEm
As I keep reaching back for one more day
DA
Lay me down upon your darkness
G
Lay me down upon your fears
DAG
Lay me down across the waters that gather all your tears
D
Lay me down
( EmDG )
F#mDEmDEmD
No more promises to be kept or made
GD
Within my wounded silence
EmDEmD
And the mourning that never fades
GEmD
For all of the roads that we walked
EmDEmDG
They no longer look the same
DEm
As I keep reaching back for one more day
DA
Lay me down upon your darkness
G
Lay me down upon your fears
CDAG
Lay me down across the waters that gather all your tears
G
Lay me down
(Solo)
DABm
Falling so far
GDEmG
So far from what I've known
ABm
Falling so far
G
Can I find my way back home?
DA
Lay me down upon your darkness
AmG
Lay me down upon your fears
DAG
Lay me down across the waters that gather all your tears
DA
Lay me down upon your darkness
G
Lay me down upon your fears
DAG
Lay me down across the waters that gather all your tears
Lay me down
