[Verse 1]
N.C.
Now I see I can't save myself
N.C.
I believed I was stronger than I felt
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
