Lay Your Body Down

[Intro] D    C     G    D

[First Part]

D                               C
I've spent my life waiting, For that
 famous final scene
             G
I believe you know the one
                            D
When she falls in love with me

As for you
            D
You've been fakin' your smile
                     C
Fillin' your time on small talk, and
 cheap wine
G                             
Knowing in your heart there was 
                             D
someplace that you'd rather be

[Pre-Chorus]

  C                  G
So right or wrong, I wrote you this 
song
  D
To tell you how I feel
      C                       G
Don't put up no fight, you just turn
 off the lights
A
Walk over here to me

[Chorus]

    D             Am        G/B
And lay your body down on me
C       G   D
Down on me, tonight, oh yeah
    D                   Am        
Oh, let your tears fall down on me

C       G   D
Down on me, tonight, oh yeah

[Second Part]

As for me
     D
I've lied to, denied to, fight with,
 and tried to
C
Apologize for all my ways...To all 
the women
    G                              
Who were fool enough to fall in 
       D
love with me

                D
You played your role like a movie
               C
Got your lines for who is, who was, 
who would be
G                                 
Somehow you lost track while real 
             D
love slipped away, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

 C                   G
So for tonight, just turn off the 
lights
    D
And let those real feelings show
        C                      G
There's no wrong or right, but until
 you try
       A
You're never gonna know

[Chorus]

    D             Am        G/B
And lay your body down on me
C       G   D
Down on me, tonight, oh yeah
    D                   Am        
Oh, let your tears fall down on me
G/B

C       G   D
Down on me, tonight, oh yeah

[Bridge]

      C        G
Before you was mine
      D
I was so lonely
C                 G
Ain't it A shame, your heart must 
feel pain
D
Before you get back on your feet 
again

       Am  C  G  D

[Pre-Chorus]

   C                      G
So let's draw the blinds, forget 
wasted time
    D
And let them old demons die
     C                     G
Take hold of my hand, then you'll 
understand
       Am
Why love's worth one more try
