  			Intro: Am Em Am Em 

Verso 1: 
Am 
We are lost 
              Em 
Shaped by the rivers 
Am 
The sky it burns 
         Em 
Hellfire red 
Am                          Em 
These maddening, no-telling winds 
Am 
They echo soft 
              Em 
Quietly whispering 


G           Am 
Come lay me down 
            F 
I've had enough 
G      Am 
Lay me down 
                    F 
I've been hurt enough 
G             Am     F 
How time runs on and on and on and 
G      Am 
Lay me down 
            F 
I've had enough 

Solo 
Am Em Am Em 

Verso 2:
Am 
Distracting from 
                 Em 
More meaningful things 
Am 
The sooner done 
                   Em 
The sooner I'll be free 
Am                             Em 
Beyond the cries of seers and fools 
Am                              Em 
A paradise, built on forgotten truths 


G          Am 
So lay me down 
            F 
I've had enough 
G       Am 
Lay me down 
                 F 
I've been hurt enough 
G             Am     F 
How time runs on and on and on and 
G      Am 
Lay me down 
           F 
I've had enough 

G       Am 
Lay me down 
           F 
I've had enough 
G       Am 
Lay me down 
                 F 
I've been hurt enough
