Lay Down My Guns - Sanctus Real

Intro: A5 G5 C5

Verse: 1

   A5              G5               C5
Well I just need a place to lay my head
   A5               G5                C5   
Forget the chain that hangs around my neck
   A5                 G5              D5      
These guns are not as heavy as the hearts they defend
   A5               G5                 D5
I can't wait to get back home where I can find some rest


Chorus: 1

     A5           G5                D5
When I lay down my guns and lift my hands
   A5         G5           D5
Surrender to Love and live again
       A5                G5             D5
May this desert reach its end where my new life begins
       F5            C5               G5
When I lay down my guns and lift my hands

A5 G5 C5

Verse: 2

    A5             G5             C5
And I have seen the devil in this place
    A5               G5                 C5
And I lost myself when my friends found the grave
    A5                  G5
When you're this far from Heaven
      D5
It's hard to keep the faith
    A5            G5
I'm barely holding on
 D5
I can't wait to


Chorus: 2

A5         G5                D5
Lay down my guns and lift my hands
   A5         G5           D5
Surrender to Love and live again
       A5                G5             D5
May this desert reach its end where my new life begins
       F5            C5               G5
When I lay down my guns and lift my hands


Bridge:

       A5                G5
And I'm laying down these burdens
D5
Taking off the weights
     A5              G5               D5
And I can't count the miles that I've walked to find my way
   A5            G5            D5
To lay down these guns
              A5            G5            D5          
How I need to lay down these guns


Chorus: 2

A5         G5                D5
Lay down my guns and lift my hands
   A5         G5           D5
Surrender to Love and live again
       A5                G5             D5
May this desert reach its end where my new life begins
       F5            C5               G5
When I lay down my guns and lift my hands
