Lay It Down

D D This sound Bm It isn't big, it isn't loud Gmaj7 Bm/F# Em And you have to listen closely D It would Bm Disappear in a crowd Gmaj7 Bm/F# Em And it's very soft and ghostly D And this sound Bm It isn't big, it isn't loud Gmaj7 Bm/F# Em But it's the sound that makes my heart sing D It's found Bm Very subtle all around Gmaj7 Bm/F# Em In the silences between things Gmaj7 A And you've been down that other road F#m G Bm/F# Em And you've seen what's at the end A You carry such a heavy load F#m G A7sus2 So lay it down, my friend D Lay it down F#m Lay it down Gmaj7 Bm/F# Em Listen to the gentle sound and D Lay it down F#m Lay it down Gmaj7 Bm/F# Em So quiet all around D F#m He-e he Gmaj7 Bm/F# Em He he he D And this sound Bm It isn't big, it isn't loud Gmaj7 Bm/F# Em It's not the sound to fill arenas D Not loud Bm It isn't meant to move the crowd Gmaj7 Bm/F# Em Not even move the air between us D And this sound Bm It's very soft and very small Gmaj7 Bm/F# Em And it's nearly disappearing D Almost Bm Like you hear no sound at all Gmaj7 Bm/F# Em It's like a different way of hearing Gmaj7 A You've been down that other road F#m G Bm/F# Em And you've seen what's at the end A You carry such a heavy load F#m G A7sus2 So lay it down, my friend D Lay it down F#m Lay it down Gmaj7 Bm/F# Em Listen to the gentle sound and D Lay it down F#m Lay it down Gmaj7 Bm/F# Em So quiet all around D F#m He Gmaj7 Bm/F# Em He Gmaj7 A Just when you think you've got it all wrong F#m G Bm/F# Em It's just before it all comes true A Don't give up yet, you've got to be strong F#m G A7sus2 'Cause there's still one thing to do D Lay it down F#m Lay it down Gmaj7 Bm/F# Em Listen to the gentle sound and D Lay it down F#m Lay it down Gmaj7 Bm/F# Em So quiet all around D F#m yeah he Gmaj7 Bm/F# Em yeah he he D
