You Lay Down

Em      Am
Em      Am

[Verse 1]
     G                   G/F#
In a garden of thorns my Rose of Sharon
Am                                 D
Bleeds till she’s the color of the moonlight
        G                        G/F#
And the angels wrap her in their feathered arms
         Am                          D
But they cannot conceal her from the darkest night

[Pre-chorus]
        Am               D
And you didn’t say a word when they accused you
    Am                          D
You did not fight back when the whole world used you

[Chorus]
     G                         G/F#
When hate was crowned king and love was diminished
          B                    Em
You stood meek as a lamb there without blemish
         Am                        D
And they laughed when you cried out, "It is finished!"

[Bridge]
    Em
You lay down, you lay down
         Am
And I’ll step upon your back
         Em
Up high above, above the fence
       Am             Bm/F# Em
to see all the way to Glory land

[Verse 2]
          G                   G/F#
Above the garden of thorns my Rose of Sharon
              Am                      D
climbs up and clings to an old rugged tower
               G                  G/F#
And though the angels offer her a thousand tears
          Am                              D
Still she wilts in the cold flames of her darkest hour

[Pre-chorus]
      Am               D
And I lied when I said, "I never knew you"
    Am                        D
You did not fight back when I scarred and bruised you

[Chorus]
     G                            G/F#
When hate was a king your love never diminished
          B                    Em
You stood meek as a lamb there without blemish
       Am
And we laughed when you cried out
       D
How we laughed when you cried out
D
It is finished

[Instrumental]
Em      Am
Em      Am

[Pre-chorus]
    Am               D
You didn’t say a word when we accused you
    Am                           D
You did not fight back when the whole world used you

[Chorus]
     G                               G/F#
When hate was crowned king your love never diminished
          B                   Em
You stood meek as a lamb there without blemish
       Am
And we laughed when you cried out
D
  It is finished

[Outro]
       Em
So you lay down, you lay down
         Am
And I’ll step upon your back
         Em
Up high above, above the fence
       Am             Bm/F# Em
to see all the way to Glory land
       Am             Bm/F# Em
to see all the way to Glory land
       Am             Bm/F# Em
to see all the way to Glory land
