I've been getting down about all the runaround
A E F#m D
About all the pushing and the standing in line
A E F#m D
But like my friends say you gotta do it anyway
A E F#m D
And it just gets harder when you ask why
F#m E A D
And I'm tired from all the weight
A E D
I'm tired of being strong
F#m E A D
So won't you come and stay
A E
And let me lay down in your arms
Esus F#m E A D
Down in my arms
A E F#m D
I've been getting up early I've been getting my coffee

Talking to myself while I'm taking of my seat belt
A E F#m D
Some people don't know how to slow down

And let me lay down in your arms
