              Dm  Bb 
 
 Dm 
This world asks for so much 
Despite what you give it's just never enough 
             Bb 
Then you're left cold tired and alone 
Searching for something that's already gone 
 Dm 
You try not to be afraid 
Bound down by all of these things that they say 
         Bb 
And you feel like you're all by yourself 
But I'll be right here when there's nothing else 
Dm   Bb 
Lay down 
F             C          Dm    Bb 
Rest here in peace in my arms now 
F               C 
Knowing you're safe 
         Dm              Bb 
From the storms and the rain 
       F              C 
And from all of your pain 
        Dm   Bb       F        C          Dm 
And I'll be here when only the silence remains 
                    Bb 
Only the silence remains 
 
 Dm 
Your fears they know that you're scared 
Wherever you go they seem to meet you there 
         Bb 
And you face them all on your own 
Never the weak always the strong 
    Dm 
And you win most of the time 
Never once claiming that victory's mine 
        Bb 
And you carry this burden alone 
But this candle's burned at both ends for so long 
Dm   Bb 
Lay down 
F             C          Dm    Bb 
Rest here in peace in my arms now 
 F              C 
Knowing you're safe 
          Dm             Bb 
From the storms and the rain 
        F             C 
And from all of your pain 
         Dm  Bb        F        C           Dm 
And I'll be here when only the silence remains 
    (Dm Bb)

Lay down 
Dm   Bb 
Lay down 
F             C          Dm    Bb 
Rest here in peace in my arms now 
 F              C 
Knowing you're safe 
          Dm             Bb 
From the storms and the rain 
        F             C 
And from all of your pain 
         Dm  Bb        F        C         Dm   Bb 
And I'll be here when only the silence remains 
F             C          Dm    Bb 
Rest here in peace in my arms now 
 F              C 
Knowing you're safe 
          Dm             Bb 
From the storms and the rain 
        F             C 
And from all of your pain 
         Dm  Bb        F        C           Dm 
And I'll be here when only the silence remains
