Lay It Down chords by Nichole Nordeman

Chords with lyrics

Since the original is played on piano, I like to finger pick this song...
just a basic up and down arpeggio sounds nice (in my opinion).
Hope you like it! :)

Lay It Down ~ Nichole Nordeman

VERSE 1:
E minorEm        C majorC
To every son and daughter
D MajorD      E MajorE
Wayward and long gone
E minorEm       C majorC
The love of a father
D MajorD        E MajorE   Cmaj7Cmaj7
Will leave the light on

VERSE 2:
E minorEm         C majorC
Tried to throw you off track
D MajorD       E MajorE
A augmentedA needle in a haystack
E minorEm          C majorC
I don't know how you found me
D MajorD         E MajorE    Cmaj7Cmaj7
Or why you let me come back

PRE-CHORUS 1:
E minorEm       C majorC    A minorAm    D MajorD         E minorEm
'Cause it's a long way home when all you're left to carry
    C majorC    A minorAm      E minorEm         D MajorD
Is a heart of stone and the weight of most the world
And I'd like to...

CHORUS:
E minorEm    C majorC
Lay it down a little
E minorEm    C majorC
Lay it down a lot
G+G        D MajorD     E minorEm
I don't want to hold it anymore
     C majorC    E minorEm
Lay it down in pieces
E minorEm    C majorC
Lay it down in whole
G+G         D MajorD
Everything I've carried on my own
E minorEm         C majorC
Lay it down, lay it down
E minorEm         C majorC
Lay it down, lay it down

VERSE 3:
E minorEm      C majorC
I spent your money
D MajorD       E MajorE
Living on the fringes
E minorEm        C majorC
But you threw a party for me
D MajorD         E MajorE
Invited all your big friends

PRE-CHORUS 2:
E minorEm      C majorC    A minorAm     D MajorD   E minorEm
And I have learned a little bit about a heavy load
      C majorC     A minorAm       E minorEm         D MajorD
All that gleams and glitters is not worth its weight in gold
And I know I should...

CHORUS:
E minorEm    C majorC
Lay it down a little
E minorEm    C majorC
Lay it down a lot
G+G        D MajorD     E minorEm
I don't want to hold it anymore
     C majorC    E minorEm
Lay it down in pieces
E minorEm    C majorC
Lay it down in whole
G+G         D MajorD
Everything I've carried on my own
E minorEm         C majorC
Lay it down, lay it down
E minorEm         C majorC
