G                 F#m              D 
For I shall carry this weight 
        Em                              D          Em D G 
Of the words I wished to say 
G              D                                     Em                  D       Em D 
For just one moment, I'll give back all my yesterdays 
      G      Em Bm               Em            D                   Em D G 
For all of the songs no longer sound the same 
    Em D     F#m          D          Em 
As I keep reaching back for one more day 

                   D                             A 
Lay me down upon your darkness 
                   G 
Lay me down upon your fears 
                   D                          A                    G 
Lay me down across the waters that gather all your tears 
                   D 
Lay me down 

( Em  D  G ) 

          F#m     D                Em          D        Em D 
No more promises to be kept or made 
       G                                D 
Within my wounded silence 
             Em                                D       Em D 
And the mourning that never fades 
         G    Em       D 
For all of the roads that we walked 
            Em                      D            Em D G 
They no longer look the same 
                 D                             Em 
As I keep reaching back for one more day 

                    D                            A 
Lay me down upon your darkness 
                   G 
Lay me down upon your fears 
             C    D                    A                         G 
Lay me down across the waters that gather all your tears 
G 
Lay me down 

(Solo) 

D     A        Bm 
Falling so far 
      G                   D Em G 
So far from what I've known 
   A       Bm 
Falling so far 
              G 
Can I find my way back home? 
               D                         A 
Lay me down upon your darkness 
            Am  G 
Lay me down upon your fears 
              D                       A                  G 
Lay me down across the waters that gather all your tears 
                D                       A 
Lay me down upon your darkness 
               G 
Lay me down upon your fears 
                    D                     A                G 
Lay me down across the waters that gather all your tears 
Lay me down
