Chorus 1:

       Dm*       Am*
Lay me down
        C*         G*

Pockets full of stones

**Finger pick the second time around**

      Dm     Am

            Am           C
The world?s a beast of a burden
         F          Em        Am
You?ve been holding up a long time
  C        F     Em
And all this longing
      Am         C
And the ships are left to rust
      F          Em        Dm ////
That?s what the water gave us

Pockets full of stones

**Finger pick this time around**

Lay me down
       C        G
Let the only sound
       Dm  Am   C   Em ////

Bridge:
                           Dm
?Cause they took your loved ones
                           Am
But returned them in exchange for you
                  F5               G5
But would you have it any other way?     (~Palm Mute & Power chords)
                  Dm         F5
Would you have it any other way?
               G5          Dm   //
You couldn't have it any other way

  Am           C   F    Em
?Cause she?s a cruel mistress   (Power Chords & Single Strum here)
      Am            C
And a bargain must be made
    F            Em       Am
But oh, my love, don?t forget me
     C              F      Em    Dm ///
When I let the water take me

Chorus:

Pockets full of stones
