Am Em Am Em
[Verse 1]
AmWe are lost
Shaped by the Emrivers
AmThe sky it burns
Hellfire Emred
AmThese maddening, no-telling Emwinds
AmThey echo soft
Quietly whispeEmring
[Chorus]
GCome lay me Amdown
I've had enoFugh
GLay me Amdown
I've been hurt enougFh
GHow time runs Amon and Fon and on and
GLay me Amdown
I've had enoFugh
[Solo]
Am Em Am Em
[Verse 2]
AmDistracting from
More meaningful tEmhings
AmThe sooner done
The sooner I'll be Emfree
AmBeyond the cries of seers and fEmools
AmA paradise, built on forgotten tEmruths
[Chorus]
GSo lay me dAmown
