Gm                Eb
Everything turned to gold
            Bb       F
And then it fell apart
         Gm
It's the same old story
          Eb
It's the same sad song
          Dm    F
Where did I go wrong?

[Chorus]
        Eb          Gm
Lay me down in the waves
        Bb          F
Let the water wash away
         Eb             Gm
And if I leave with the tide
       Bb             Dm
In the morning I will rise
    Eb
So lay me down
       F
Don't lift me out
            Gm
Let me drown

[Verse 2]
       Gm
Take a breath
        Eb                Bb    F
Hold it in and sink beneath
Gm                  Eb                Bb .  F
Feel the eyes of the living watching me
       Gm           Eb
Lay me down in the water
          Bb        F
Leave the past behind
          Gm
There's a time to be born
Eb
And a time to die
    Dm             F
And somewhere they collide

[Chorus]
        Eb          Gm
Lay me down in the waves
        Bb          F
Let the water wash away
         Eb             Gm
And if I leave with the tide
       Bb             Dm
In the morning I will rise
    Eb
So lay me down
       F
Don't lift me out
            Cm
Let me drown

[Bridge]
Cm     Bb                F
I have walked in distant waters Let me drown
Cm    Gm           F
But I never walked alone Let me drown
Cm     Bb                Gm
If my heart should ever wander
        Dm            Eb
Let the water lead me home

[Chorus 3]
N.C.
Lay me down in the waves
N.C.
Let the water wash away
N.C.
And if I leave with the tide
N.C.
In the morning I will rise
   Eb
So lay me down
      C
Don't lift me out
       Eb          Gm
Lay me down in the waves
        Bb         F
Let the water wash away
       Eb               Gm
And if I leave with the tide
       Bb             Dm
In the morning I will rise
   Eb
So lay me down
       Bb
Don't lift me out
    Eb
So lay be down
     F
Dont lift me out
        Gm
Let me drown
