[Intro]
Dm  Bb

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
