Lay Me Down chords by Sam Smith

Chords with lyrics

In the verses you can also play a normal E MajorE or A augmentedA instead of the maj7.
I just think the maj7 sounds just a little bit better.

 EMaj7Emaj7
Yes I do, I believe
That one day I will be, where I was
              Amaj7Amaj7
Right there, right next to you
And it's hard, the days just seem so dark
The moon, the stars, are nothing without you

   EMaj7Emaj7
Your touch, your skin, where do I begin?
                      Amaj7Amaj7
No words can explain, the way I'm missing you
The night, this emptiness, this hole that I'm inside
These tears, they tell their own story

   F# minorF#m       A augmentedA      C# minorC#m   BB
You told me not to cry when you were gone
     F# minorF#m      A augmentedA         B7B7  BB
But the feelings overwhelming, it's much too strong

  E MajorE       C# minorC#m      F# minorF#m A augmentedA
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
   E MajorE         C# minorC#m
And make sure you're alright
          F# minorF#m
I'll take care of you
    A augmentedA            Esus4Esus4       E MajorE
And I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight

   EMaj7Emaj7
I'm reaching out to you
         Amaj7Amaj7
Can you hear my call?
   EMaj7Emaj7
This hurt that I've been through
                 Amaj7Amaj7
I'm missing you, missing you like crazy

  E MajorE       C# minorC#m      F# minorF#m A augmentedA
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
   E MajorE         C# minorC#m
And make sure you're alright
          F# minorF#m
I'll take care of you
