B         F#m (1)      A    E
Come lay down in the water
B         F#m (1)     A     E
We’re all sons and daughters
B         F#m (1)    A     E
Rest your head on the altar, oh

[Verse 1]

 E    F#m (2)    E      F#m (2)
Pirouette, single step
          C#m              
Won’t you spin me around the room
            E
Like a marionette 

E             F#m (2)
And lonely maestro
E             F#m (2)
Spin me real slow

            C#m               
I just need something to get me through
     E
The thick of it


[Breakdown]

       C#m             C            E/B      Bbø

Come lay down in the water
B        F#m (1)   A    E
We’re all sons and daughters

Rest your head on the altar, oh

Come lay down in the water

E                      F#m (2)
These silent offerings
E                      F#m (2)
That only cowards sing
C#m                                  E
Oh darling I was never free, for the taking


[Breakdown]

       C#m             C            E/B      Bbø    
We had everything from time to time
            C#m             C            E/B      Bbø
Yeah, we had everything, we had everything
A
Oh


[Chorus]

Come lay down in the water

Rest your head by the altar, oh
B        F#m (1)   A    E
Come lay down in the water

Rest your head
