Lay Your Head Down Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C][Em][F][G]
[C]Lay your head
[Em]down
Lay your head down
[F]Lay your head dow[G]n on me
What [C]is the state of your [Em]heart?
[F]Is it concaved?
Are you [G]awake?[C]
Sometimes when I cry,
I start to cry [Em]harder simply because I am crying
Or because I know that somewhere in the [F]world there are
little girls that are wearing tutus and sibging Christmas songs
[G]Or because there are actual Sharpe puppies
that look like rolled up towels
[C]Or because on the internet you can
find pictures of [Em]pig s in rainboots
You can find anything on the internet
[F]Tha[G]t is so cool
Or I cry because Sarah Mc[C]Claughlin comes on to my TV
and sings to animals who don't [Em]have homes.
[F]Fuck you Sarah McClaughlin
I'm just kidding [G]I love you Sarah
McClaughlin
Sometimes I cry when cheese is really [C]good
Or when I've cut onion
[Em]s
[F]But thats just human[G]
I cry when there is no end and I cry
be[C]cause there is an end
And I cry be[Em]cause you love me so well and I cry because I gave
my [F]love to other people before you
And I cry because I used to cry [G]alone because I
wanted to die
I cry because the sun set is so beauti
[C]ful on the Conneticit River
I cry because I am scared I
am los[Em]ing my mind
I cry because I'm on [F]meds or I forgot my meds or I'm crying for the fact that I'm crying because I
forgot my meds and does this [G]mean I am actually myself?
And I'm crying because [C]maybe I am myself
and that doesn't feel like [Em]enough[F][G][Gsus4][G]
[C]
Lay your head down
[Em]Lay your head down
[F]Lay your head down on me[G]
What is [C]the state [Em]of your heart?
Is [F]it concaved?
Are you [G]awake?
[C]I cry because sometimes my only power feels like twe[Em]eting
a hashtag and that is so vapid and [F]useless
Or I cry because I am hu[G]man and I'm connected
and there is immense sadness in the world
I [C]cry because humanity is frightning
Because one person consumed [Em]with self hatred and armed
with one gun can kill an entire room [F]of people[G]
I cry because shame [Am]propels
so many of us
I cry because so [G]many people
forget how important it is to cry
Or made to feel weal when they
[F]do
I cry because I want to close my [C]eyes
I cry because I [Em]can't[F][G]
And I cry because there is also good
[C]There is also chocolate cake
And [Em]love
And Harry Potter
And the brilliant gasps
of magic of holding [F]a hand
And hamocks
I love hamocks
I cry because it is [G]late in the summer and all
the fireflies are winking at me
[C]And the moon is out
And it wants nothing from me
I cry because [Em]my heart used to be an atlas
with all the continents cut [F]out
I cry because I am full now and sure and say yes when
[G]I mean yes and no when I mean no
And can love you with all of
[Am]my breath[G][F]
I cry because I [C]am so well
Because I live so [Em]well
And how can [F]one person be so fortunate
to live with [G]all of this light[C]
Lay your head [Em]down
Lay your head [F]down
Lay your head down [G]on [C]me
Lay your head down
[Em]Lay your head down
[F]Lay your head down on [G]me
What is [C]the state of [Em]your heart?
[F]Is it concaved?
Are you [G]awake?
[Em]Stay [Am]awake
Stay [Em]awake
[F]Stay awake
