Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down

	  		
Intro: G 

G 
Oh, well it's hard to look deep into your soul. 
Not everything you'll find will be perfect gold. 
Am                               C           G 
There are ghosts and demons that hide in the dark. 
Am                                 C          G 
Oh, they wait till I find love and then the-e-y laugh. 
G 
Oh, they know that my body is no way good enough. 
Know that my heart is no way strong enough  
Am                 C         G 
To bare the sorrow that love brings. 
Am                           C       G      
When i coil in fear, oh, the de-e-mons sing- 
  Am                                   C               G 
oh it's a hollow love for a heart with no blood in its veins. 

G                       Am 
Oh, there is no endless devotion, 
G                       Am 
that is free from the force of erosion. 
               C                G 
Oh, and if you don't believe in God, 
        C              G 
how can you believe in love? 
           C        G                C       G 
When we're all just matter that will one day scatter, 
     Am           C             G 
when peaceful the world lays us down. 

               G                    Am 
Oh and finding love is a matter of luck, 
             G                         Am 
and unsettled lovers move from fuck to fuck. 
        C             G                 C          G 
Oh, and compare their achievements like discussing bereavements 
        C           G                 C       G 
And compare their abbrations with romantic quotations, 
        Am           C             G 
Oh, as peaceful, the world watches down. 

               G                Am 
But oh we were blown out of the water. 
           G                        Am 
Oh, and we walk on the feet we have grown. 
               C       G               C          G 
Oh And we were given a heart, of which love is a part. 
            C           G                 C            G 
Oh, and we cornered the thing from which all life will spring. 
            Am           C             G 
And it gave value to the world that surrounds us 

          G                          Am 
But we consider the world just for a moment 
           G                    Am 
Oh and its gone before we even know 
           C         G              C          G 
Oh but ill follow it round yeah ill follow it round 
           C         G              C          G 
Oh ill follow it round yeah ill follow it round 
           Am           C        G 
Till peaceful, the world lays me down 

End on: G
