Lay down be-side me
  -6   -6   -6  -6   -6   6   -5   6   5 
Close your eyes and feel the noon-day sun
  5    -6    6  -5   6   6 
These eyes they re-mind me
-4 5   -5    -5  -5  -5  -5  5  -4   4   -4 
Of a scared and sim-ple doe be-fore she runs

John was a Bap-tist
 6   -6    -6   -6    -6  -6  6  -5 6   5
He feared the world could end at an-y time

You and I were charged with this
-5   6   6   6   6   6 -5  5
To hold the es-sence of a kiss
 5  -5    -5   -5  -5   -5   5   -4    4    -4   
To take these brok-en plans and make them rhyme

Here, he nev-er touched you
 6  -6   -6    -6  -6  -6  6   -5     6    5
In-side this house he nev-er called your name

So stay where I can see you, girl
 6   6    6   6   6   -5    5    -4    -5
We both know the out-side world has changed
-5  -5  -5   -5  5 -4  4   -4
And it will nev-er be the same

My hands they are wick-ed
-5  -6  -6  -6   -6   6   -5   6  5
My head and my heart are wick-ed too
 -6   -6    -6    -6 -6  6   -5
All these things that I do wrong
 6  6    6      6   6   6  -5    5
If you weren’t giv-en fear so strong

I would not be good e-nough for you

But I won’t lay this pis-tol down
 6  6   6   6    6    6  -5   5
Un-til the sky falls to the ground

Leave him here to call your name
