[Verse 1]
C C
All the troubled, stormy days I have passed here,
C C F
all the wild and wicked ways I've spent my years.
C C Am
But every soul has a place where it belongs,
C F G C
so, lay me down in this land I call home.
[Chorus]
Am F F Em Em
Save your prayers for the wretched who can be saved,
Am F F G G
I have no shame or sorrow for the life that I've made.
Am F F C C
There's no heaven or hell that could carry these bones,
C F G C
so, lay me down in this land I call home.
[Verse 2]
C C
Every scar upon this earth scorched by this blade,
C C F
every cry and every curse that still bears my name.
C C Am
Forever will be written here, right or wrong,
C F G C
so, lay me down in this land I call home.
[Chorus]
Am F F Em Em
Save your prayers for the wretched who can be saved,
Am F F G G
I have no shame or sorrow for the life that I've made.
Am F F C C
There's no heaven or hell that could carry these bones,
C F G C
so, lay me down in this land I call home.
[End-Chorus]
Am F F Em Em
Save your prayers for the wretched who can be saved,
Am F F G G
I have no shame or sorrow for the life that I've made.
Am F F C C
There's no heaven or hell that could carry these bones,
C F G C
so, lay me down in this land I call home.
C F C
Lay me down in this land I call home.
