Lay It Down Lyrics

CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: F G Am (3x) F
Have another drink, yeah
Maybe dull the pain
Take another hit
But that don't ever stop the rain
Smile away the hours, you're
Never really there, you're
Safe behind the knowledge
They don't know how much you care
CHORUS:
Yeah, but don't that stuff get awful heavy
You know it occurs to me__
You're gonna break your heart, yeah
If you don't leave it be__
Lay it down
Lay it all the way down___
Ohhhhh yeah, ohhhhh yeah, ohhhhh yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Leave the words unspoken
Bite your tongue instead
Ah, but keep the fire smoking
Keep it humming in your head
Hold another grudge
Oh oh, tight against your chest
Yeah, note another slight
So you can add it to the rest
CHORUS:
Yeah, but don't that stuff get awful heavy
You know it occurs to me__
You're gonna break your heart, yeah
If you don't leave it be__
Lay it down
BRIDGE:
The truth leaks out a little every time you
Tell another desperate joke
INSTRUMENTAL: F G Am F G Am F G Am F
CHORUS:
Yeah, but don't that stuff get awful heavy
You know it occurs to me__
You're gonna break your heart, yeah
If you don't leave it be__
Lay it down
Lay it all the way down___
Ohhhhh yeah, ohhhhh yeah, ohhhhh yeah yeah, yeah yeah
OUTRO: (## fade to end #)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
