EmLay down, sleep my little darling
                             Em*riff                  
I'll be nothing when you're gone 
EmLay down just like in a coffin
                             Em*riff
Then I'll have nothing but a song
Pre Chorus
                              A   Em(or the main theme but it doesn't go well on an acoustic guitar)

EmI know I Gwon't Ago
EmLay dowGn 
ASleep you'll be lonely
EmI know I Awon't gGo
CIt's not my tuBrn
Lay down, this pain will be long gone
With the absence of your breath
I know, I know that you loved me
But I can't love you when you're dead
So I'll leave you in that coffin for God 
And I'll leave you in the dirt 
Lay down
Leave you'll be lonely
I know I won't go
Lay down
Sleep you'll be lonely
I know I won't go
Lay down before me
I know I won't go
It's not my turn
