[Em]Well[D],[G][C]
[Em]I just nee[D]d a pl[G]ace to lay my he[C]ad

where [D]I can find some rest

[Verse 2]
When I [C]lay down my [G]guns

it's [D]hard to keep the faith
I'm [Am]barely holding [G]on, [D]I can't wait

To [C]lay down my [G]guns
and lift [D]my hands

[Verse 5]
[C]laying down these bur[G]dens,
[Am]taking off the [G]weights
And [C]I can't count [G]the miles[Em]
that I've [Am]walked to find my [D]way
To [C]lay down these [G]gun[Am]s,

[Dm]Lay [C]down, lay [G]down, lay down my guns
