Lay Me Down chords by Zakk Wylde

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

D     A        Bm
Falling so far

So far from what I've known

Falling so far

Can I find my way back home?
