Lay Me Down

(Emaj7)Yes, I do, I believe.

That one day I will be where I was right there,

right next to you.

(A)And it's hard, the days just seem so dark.

The moon, the stars are nothing without you.

Your (Emaj7)touch, your skin, where do I begin?

No words can explain the way I'm missing you.

(A)Deny this emptiness, this hole that I'm inside.

These tears, they tell their own story.

You (F#m7)told me not to cry when you were (C#m7)gone.

(B)But the (F#m7)feeling's overwhelming, it's much too

(E)strong. (B)Can (E)I lay by your (C#m)side?

Next to (F#m7)you,

(A)you. And (E)make sure you're (C#m)alright.

I'll take care of (F#m7)you,

I (A)don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight.

I'm (Emaj7)reaching out to you,

can you hear my (A)call?

(Who's to say you won't hear me?)

This (Emaj7)hurt that I've been through.

I'm missing you, missing you (A)like crazy,

oh.

(E)You (F#m7)told me not to (A)cry when you were (C#m7)gone.

(B)But the (F#m7)feeling's (A)overwhelming, it's much too (E)strong.

(B)Can (E)I lay by your (C#m)side?

Next to (F#m7)you,

(A)you. And (E)make sure you're (C#m)alright.

I'll take care of (F#m7)you.

I (A)don't want to be here if I can't be with you (F#m)tonight.

(F#m)Lay me down (Dmaj7)tonight,

(F#m)lay me by your (Dmaj7)side.

(F#m)Lay me down (Dmaj7)tonight,

(F#m)lay me by your (Dmaj7)side.

(Dmaj7)side. (B7sus2)Can (E)I lay by your (C#m)side,

next to (F#m7)you,

(A)you.
