Ab5  C5  C#5  Eb5
Ohhhh ohhah  ohhoh oh

VERSE
Ab5                  C5
So many years spent running away
C#5               Eb5
How many times I wished I could stay
Ab5                 C5
Too much emotion a hole in my heart
C#5                  Eb5
Feeling alone since we've been apart
    C#5   Ab5
And if I had the chance
    F5    Eb5      C#5
I'd never let you go
C#5               Eb5          F5
Just want you to know

CHORUS
Bb5          Eb5  
Down lay me down
       F5
Lay me down
Eb5
Lay down burden
Bb5          Eb5  
Down lay me down
       F5
Lay me down
Eb5
Lay down burden

VERSE (Note change of key)
Bb5               D5
So many things I wanted to do
Eb5                   F5
How many times spent thinking this through
Bb5                   D5
So many nights spent here by the phone
Eb5                    F5
Wonderin' if you felt just as alone
    Eb5         Bb5
And while some things have all been
G5    F5        Eb5
Crazy from the start
     Eb5          F5      G5
It's tearing me apart

CHORUS (Note change of key)
C5         F5  
Down lay me down
       G5
Lay me down
F5
Lay down burden 
C5           F5  
Down lay me down
       G5
Lay me down
F5
Lay down burden 

F5                 G5
Just remember the way I held you
F5                   G5
You're always in my heart

CHORUS
C5         F5
Down lay me down
       G5
Lay me down
F5
Lay down burden 
C5           F5

       G5
Lay me down
F5
Lay down burden
