[Verse 1]
Ab   Db                     Ab
I say, I finally found the truth
       Db
When I opened up the book God's written
Ab     Db                 Ab
You say, I'm just another fool
     Db
Who believes a man-made fairytale
Ab    Ab7 Db                    Ab
I know,     the God I serve is true
      Db                                Eb
Cause He doesn't lay there six feet under


[Pre-Chorus]
            Bb          B    Eb
Before you get too far away away


[Chorus]
Ab              Db                 Ab
Lay down, lay down, lay down your gods
           Eb
Open your eyes
                           Ab
Then put your life on the line
                Db    E          Ab
Lay down, lay down, lay down your gods
                  Eb
Don't waste your time
                             Ab
You've got to lay down your gods

Ab     Db                       Ab
Tell me, oh when your life is through
         Db
Will the gods you serve be there to save you
Ab         Db                 Ab
I know, I know That Jesus is reality
Db                            Eb
Not some false religious dream
