Intro
 
Esus2 



B 
This time, say you’re sure, 

Don’t you bother slipping away, 
                   D#m 
She says, ‘Don’t cry, boy’. 
     B 
No more will I feel, 

The weight of something real, 
               D#m 
Just let my words drown.

I’m all out,

G#m G#m/A# G#m/B                                  D#

Lay me down, 
                         B 
‘Cos I just wanna be there.

It’s over now,

I just don’t believe it. 

verse 2 
B 
I could lie, say it’s fine, 

Find someone to take up my time, 
          D#m 
Let you pass through. 
         B 
And of all that we said, 

There’s just one thing caught in my head, 
           D#m 
I can’t deny you.

         D# 
was around.

Lay me down,

Bridge 
C#m              D#  E              G#m 
Heavy, soft, and low, whispers only grow, 
E                    Em 
Time won’t change a thing, 

You’re not who you used to be.
