Lay Your Body Down - Poison
[Intro]
D    C     G    D
[VERSE]
DI've spent my life waiting, For Cthat famous final scene
I believe you Gknow the one
When she falls in love with Dme
As for you
You've been Dfakin' your smile
Fillin' your time on Csmall talk, and cheap wine
GKnowing in your heart there was someplace that you'd rather Dbe
[PRE-CHORUS]
So Cright or wrong, I Gwrote you this song
To Dtell you how I feel
Don't Cput up no fight, you jusGt turn off the lights
AWalk over here to me
[CHORUS]
And Dlay your body Amdown on meG/B  
CDown on Gme, Dtonight, oh yeah
Oh, Dlet your tears fall Amdown on meG/B  
CDown on Gme, Dtonight, oh yeah
[VERSE]
As for me 
I've Dlied to, denied to, fight with, and tried to
CApologize for all my ways...To all the women
Who Gwere fool enough to fall in love with Dme
You played your Drole like a movie
Got your lines Cfor who is, who was, who would be
GSomehow you lost track while real love slipped Daway, yeah
[PRE-CHORUS]
SCo for tonight, just Gturn off the lights
And Dlet those real feelings show
There's Cno wrong or right, but Guntil you try 
You're Anever gonna know
[CHORUS]
And Dlay your body Amdown on meG/B  
CDown on Gme, Dtonight, oh yeah
Oh, Dlet your tears fall Amdown on meG/B  
CDown on Gme, Dtonight, oh yeah
[BRIDGE]
Before Cyou was Gmine   
I was Dso lonely
CAin't it A shame, Gyour heart must feel pain
DBefore you get back on your feet again
[SOLO]
Am   G/B    C    G    D
D    Am   C
G  D
[PRE-CHORUS]
So Clet's draw the blinds, Gforget wasted time
And Dlet them old demons die
Take Chold of my hand, then Gyou'll understand
Why lovAme's worth one more try
[CHORUS]
And Dlay your body Amdown on meG/B  
CDown on Gme, Dtonight, oh yeah
Oh, Dlet your tears fall Amdown on meG/B  
CDown on Gme, Dtonight, oh yeah
