[Intro]
Em D C C
Am D Em Em
[Verse 1]
Em
Lay down now
D C
Lay down now your body in the sand
Am D Em
There's nothing more to lose, so lay down now
[Verse 2]
Em D
Let the tide flattering
C
Surround you wave by wave
Am D Em
And nurse you just for now forever
[Chorus 1]
Am
And I'd paint your face paint your face
C Em
Beautiful and more beside there where you lay
Am
And I'd dance around where you rest
C Em
And pray God's presence there forever
[Verse 3]
Em
Lay down now
D C
Lay down now your strong, but weary hands
Am D Em
Your palms up to the splintered sunlight falling
[Chorus 2]
Am
And I'd paint your face paint your face
C Em
Beautiful and more beside there where you lay
Am
And I'd dance around where you rest
C Em
And pray God's presence there forever
Am
And you would not care
C
To open up your eyes in fear
Em
'Cause there wouldn't be none
[Verse 4]
C D
And once again you would hear thoughts of you
C D
And once again you would hear thoughts of you, whispered
C D
And once again you would hear thoughts of you, whispered
C D C
Softly into your ear
