           Em  C        G                         D 
Won't you lay down and tell me the places you've been 
           Em  C        G                  D 
Won't you lay down and relive your story again 
     Em                      C       G                  D 
If things could turn back around I know I would do anything 
           Em  C          G                        D 
Won't you lay down, cause I know that heaven's waiting 

           Em   C             G                         D 
Won't you stay now, there's so much that's never been said 
           Em   C      G                  D 
Won't you stay now, remind me to never forget 
    Em                C        G                         D 
And I, I won't break down, I don't want to live with regret 
           Em   C         G                      D 
Won't you stay now, I'll be by your side til the end 

 Am                         G         D 
You've been to places I've never been 
  Am                 C                     G         D 
Built your walls so high but you'd always let me in 
Am         C        G                D 
You showed me that love can build a home 
     Am    C              Em              D 
But now I see, that it's time to let you go 

           Em  C        G                         D 
Won't you lay down and tell me the places you've been 
           Em  C        G                  D 
Won't you lay down and relive your story again 
     Em                      C       G                  D 
If things could turn back around I know I would do anything 
           Em  C          G                        D 
Won't you lay down, cause I know that heaven's waiting 

     Em                      C       G                  D 
If things could turn back around I know I would do anything 
           Em  C          G                        D 
Won't you lay down, cause I know that heaven's waiting
