[Verse 1]
Em
The time has come
C Am
And as I reach up to the sky
D Em
The love will never die
Em
At last it's here
C Am
The darkest sky begins to clear
D G
The final hour draws near
[Pre-Chorus]
G Am Em D
But the voices are calling me
C Am Em B
Erasing the pain and the fear
[Chorus]
Em Am
So lay me down
Em Am
Lay me to rest
Em Am
It's over now 'cause I know
C B Bb Em
It's the beginning of the end
[Verse 2]
Em
And so we'll rise
C Am
By the grace of God alone
D Em
His words are carved in stone
Em
I'm never gone
C Am
I'll always be within your heart
D G
Waiting's the worst part
[Pre-Chorus]
G Am Em D
Now the voices are calling me, Soothing me and
C Am Em B
easing the pain and the fear
[Chorus]
Em Am
So lay me down
Em Am
Lay me to rest
Em Am
It's over now 'cause I know
C B Bb Em
It's the beginning of the end
[Interlude 1]

[Bridge]
Am C Am
And I see my life pass quickly by
C
I am watching
Am C Dm
All these years we thought we were so wise
B
They mean nothing
Am C Am C
Walk alone into the dying mist come alive for ever
Am C Dm
See the things we've never seen before
B
Hand in hand together
[Interlude 2]
Am F Am Dm x2
[Verse 3]
Em
The falling rays
C Am
are lighting up the open door
D G
We've all been waiting for
[Pre Chorus]

So the voices are calling me
C Am Em B
Showing the path that is clear
[Chorus]

So lay me down

Lay me to rest

It's over now 'cause I know

It's the beginning

So lay me down

Lay me to rest

It's over now 'cause I know
C B Bb Em
It's the beginning of the end
