Lay Your Burdens Down

G                       C        
Under the steeple we were all 
   G
God's people
     D          Em       C       
If we loved one another, sisters 
    G
and brothers
G                            C   
But then the preacher told me, 
            G
God loves the straight man only
D               Em           C  
Straight is the same as holy so 
          G
saith the Lord

[Chorus]
G                            C   
Father could you ever love a 
        G
person like me?
D                   Em           
Or did you seal the gates above 
   C             G
and throw out the keys
                    Em             
You say we are your children if we 
C         G
trust and believe

D                   Em           
So God please don't forget about 
    C        G
the children like me

[Verse 2]
G                           C    
While the world was sleeping I'd 
        G
stay up weeping
         D            Em          
Wondering who was the liar, my God
C      G
 or my desire
G                              C 
If straight means holy then I -- 
          G
I guess I don't mind lonely
D                   Em           
But what if we have this life 
   C             G
only, what if I was wrong?

[Verse 3]
G                       C         
They say I'm ruined, but I'm only 
G
human
         D            Em          
They say, it could be Satan, but 
  C         G
God I'm your creation
G                     C          
What is and isn't sin, I'll let 
         G
it go and let you in
         D          Em         
All this time I was praying, all 
       C             G
this time you were saying...

G                     C       G 
Come lay your burdens down on me
    D

     G                C       G
Come lay your burdens down on me
G                     C       G 
Come lay your burdens down on me
    D

     G                C       G
Come lay your burdens down on me
