Wel[Am7]l I just need a p[G]lace to lay my h[C2]ead
For[Am7]get the chain that[G] hangs around my [C2]neck

[CHORUS 1]

When [Am7]I lay down my [G]guns and lift my [D]hands
Sur[Am7]render to Lo[G]ve and live [D]again

When I [F]lay down my g[C]uns and lift my [G]hands

And [Am7]I lost myself when[G] my friends found [C2]the grave

[D]Taking off the weights
And I[Am7] can't count the [G]miles that I've [D]walked to find my way

How I need to [Am7]lay down these [G]guns [D]
