Verse 1:
G              C
In the night I heard you crying,
G                     D
Whispering words of regret,
      G                 C
I can smell the whiskey from my bed,
     G                       D
It’s something I’ll never forget.

Verse 2:
    G                   C
And by the light of the morning sun,
       G                  D
You’re up as quick as the breeze,
        G              C
But you don’t recall a thing from the night,
    G            D         G
I’m finding that hard to believe.

Chorus:
          Em       C
Won’t you lay your head down,
      G                        D
Don’t drink all your troubles away,
      Em               C
For I know that you’re strong enough,
   G             D        G
To find your way home someday.

Verse 3:
    G               C
For all my faults I love you still,
        G                        D
But the suffering that you give, well,
             G                       C
Would take a lifetime to heal, and a lifetime to take,
      G                    D
We’re living in this merry hell.

Chorus:
          Em       C
Won’t you lay your head down,
      G                        D
Don’t drink all your troubles away,
      Em               C
For I know that you’re strong enough,
   G             D        G   G
To find your way home someday.

Verse 4:
    G          C
And I remember when you told me,
G                   D
Be the best man you can,
         G                  C
For that life will pass you by so fast,
       G                      D
You’ll feel like a candyfloss man.

Chorus:
          Em       C
Won’t you lay your head down,
      G                        D
Don’t drink all your troubles away,
      Em               C
For I know that you’re strong enough,
   G             D        G
To find your way home someday.
          Em       C
Won’t you lay your head down,
      G                        D
Don’t drink all your troubles away,
      Em               C
For I know that you’re strong enough,
   G             D        G
To find your way home someday.
      Em               C
For I know that you’re strong enough,
