G                     Am               F
I wish that you could see who I really am
                   Am                           G
It's tough being a woman in love with an unkind man
                            Am                        F
Cause baby I'd give you the world, in fact, I already do

And how do you repay that?
Am                                             G
Talk to me like I'm just a regular tramp tryna do you over
         Am                      F
Have you even got a clue, what I gave up just to be here?
Am
Serve you with your steak and beer?


[Pre-Chorus 1]
       G
'Cause baby that's love (Baby that's love)
    Am
And baby that's real (Baby that's real)
    F
And all I've ever wanted was for your loving arms
   Am
To wrap themselves around me and say


[Chorus]
    G                                   Am
Hey girl, you're the prettiest thing my eyes have ever seen
                  F
Come and lay your bones down with me
                  Am
Come and lay your bones down with me
    G                                   Am
Hey girl, you're the prettiest thing my heart has ever known
                  F
Come and lay your bones down with me
                  Am
Come and lay your bones down


[Verse 2]
G                      Am                             F
I'm not tryna play the victim, don't wanna go head to head
                            Am                                        G
But boy I shouldn't have to stand in the mirror convincing myself I'm fair
                        Am
Baby that's your job to do
                            F
And baby you should say I'm beautiful
                           Am                                              G
Why do you wanna watch the set when I'm layin' right next to you in my own room?
                      Am
I feel like you don't even know I'm there
            F
But I put a brush through my hair for you
             Am
Run my fingertips over your back real smooth


[Pre-Chorus 2]
G
Boy I need love (Boy I need love)
Am
I don't get enough (I don't get enough)
    F
And all I've ever wanted was for your loving arms
   Am
To wrap themselves around me and say


[Chorus]
    G                                   Am
Hey girl, you're the prettiest thing my eyes have ever seen
                  F
Come and lay your bones down with me
                  Am
Come and lay your bones down with me
    G                                   Am
Hey girl, you're the prettiest thing my heart has ever known
                  F
Come and lay your bones down with me
                  Am
Come and lay your bones down


[Bridge]
G                      Am
I look you dead in the eyes and say that "I love you"
       F
In the eyes and say "I want you"
       Am                                    G
In the eyes and say "This is what I'm asking for"
                                 Am
How can you sit and stare at the wall?
                          F
Do you even like me at all?
                                     Am
Stop talking 'bout making it better, ain't that complicated
                            (instrumental quiets)
                      G     Am            F
I just wanna see your arms around me, baby
                             Am (instrumental picks up)
Come and lay your bones down
                             (instrumental quiets to drums)
Come and lay your bones down


[Chorus]
    G                                   Am
Hey girl, you're the prettiest thing my eyes have ever seen
                  F
Come and lay your bones down with me
                  Am
Come and lay your bones down (Bones down)
       (rest of instrumental picks back up)
    G                                   Am
Hey girl, you're the prettiest thing my heart has ever known
                  F
Come and lay your bones down with me
                  Am
Come and lay your bones down


[Outro]
   G                       Am
Oh, I look you dead in the eyes and say "I love you"
       F
In the eyes and say "I want you"
       Am                                    G
In the eyes and say "This is what I'm asking for"
    G          F
Ooooooooooooooooh,
                            Am
Come and lay your bones down
