As I Lay Me Down Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]You[Bm] felt[C] like springtime[D] on this
[Em]February morni[C]ng
In a [G]courtyard,
birds were [D]singing your [G]praise[Bm]
[C]I'm still recal[D]ling things you sai[Em]d
To make me [C]feel all [G]right
I carry them [D]with me today

[Chorus 1]
Now [G]as I [D]lay me [C]down to [D]sleep
This I [G]pray
That [D]you will hold me [C]dear
[D]Though I'm far awa[G]y
I'll [D]whisper [C]your name
[D]Into the sky[G]
And [D]I will wake up h[C]appy[D]

[Verse 2]
I wonder [G]why[Bm]
[C]I feel so hig[D]h
Though I am [Em]not above the [C]sorrow
Heavy-[G]hearted 'til you [D]call my [G]name
[Bm]And it sounds like churc[C]h bells
Or the [D]whistle of a train
[Em]on a Summer even[C]ing
I want to [G]meet you barefoot, [D]barely breathing

[Chorus 2]
[G]As I [D]lay me [C]down to [D]sleep
This I [G]pray
That [D]you will hold me [C]dear
[D]Though I'm far awa[G]y
I'll [D]whisper [C]your name
[D]Into the sky[G]
And [D]I will wake up h[C]appy[D]
[G]As I [D]lay me [C]down to [D]sleep
This I [G]pray
That [D]you will hold me [C]dear
[D]Though I'm far awa[G]y
I'll [D]whisper [C]your name
[D]Into the sky[G]
And [D]I will wake up h[C]appy[D]

[Bridge 1]
[G]It's not too nea[Bb]r for me[F]
Like a [Eb]flower, I need the [Bb]rain
Thought it's not [Db]clear to [Ab]me
Every [Gb]season has its [Ab]change
And I will [Bb]see you
when the [C]sun comes out again

[Chorus 3]
[G]As I [D]lay me [C]down to [D]sleep
This I [G]pray
That [D]you will hold me [C]dear
[D]Though I'm far awa[G]y
I'll [D]whisper [C]your name
[D]Into the sky[G]
And [D]I will wake up h[C]appy[D]
[G]As I [D]lay me [C]down to [D]sleep
This I [G]pray
That [D]you will hold me [C]dear
[D]Though I'm far awa[G]y
I'll [D]whisper [C]your name
[D]Into the sky[G]
And [D]I will wake up h[C]appy[D]

[Outro 1]
[G]I w[D]onder why[C][D]
[G]Mm,[D] th[C]e s[D]un comes[G] out again[D]
When the [C]sun comes out a[D]gain
When the [G]sun comes out a[D]gain
When the [C]sun comes out a[D]gain
[Repeat and fade]
