would you please lay your weapons down

       B (x2444x@1)              F# (244322@1)     C#sus4-C#
Are we fighting for the same thi-ing
       B (x2444x@1)            F# (244322@1)    C#sus4-C#
or are you just gonna wear me down

              D#m7    C# (x43121@1)               B (x2444x@1)    B/Bb

  D#m (xx4342@1)            C# (x43121@1)          B (x2444x@1)   F#I (244322@1)never thought my mind could be sober
         D#m (xx4342@1)              C# (x43121@1)    D#mBut (xx4342@1)I've learned to lay the lion do-wn

Interlude 2:

B (x2444x@1)              F# (244322@1)     C#sus4-C#

           B (x2444x@1)            F# (244322@1)     C#sus4-C#
and you've worn all my de-fenses out
  D#m (xx4342@1) C# (x43121@1)       G#m (133111@4)   F# (244322@1)   B (x2444x@1) F#I (244322@1)never would have made it to she-lter
       D#m (xx4342@1)  C# (x43121@1)      D#mIf (xx4342@1)you hadn't broken me down

It's been a year I'd rather not remember,
but the memories where the answer's found
I know you see my white flag waving;
Would you please lay your weapons down
