Intro: Am7 G C2

Verse: 1

   Am7              G               C2
Well I just need a place to lay my head
   Am7               G                C2   
Forget the chain that hangs around my neck
   Am7                 G              D      
These guns are not as heavy as the hearts they defend
   Am7               G                 D
I can't wait to get back home where I can find some rest


Chorus: 1

     Am7           G                D
When I lay down my guns and lift my hands
   Am7         G           D
Surrender to Love and live again
       Am7                G             D
May this desert reach its end where my new life begins
       F            C               G
When I lay down my guns and lift my hands

Am7 G C2

Verse: 2

    Am7             G             C2
And I have seen the devil in this place
    Am7               G                 C2
And I lost myself when my friends found the grave
    Am7                  G
When you're this far from Heaven
      D
It's hard to keep the faith
    Am7            G
I'm barely holding on
 D
I can't wait to


Chorus: 2

Am7         G                D
Lay down my guns and lift my hands
   Am7         G           D
Surrender to Love and live again
       Am7                G             D
May this desert reach its end where my new life begins
       F            C               G
When I lay down my guns and lift my hands


Bridge:

       Am7                G
And I'm laying down these burdens
D
Taking off the weights
     Am7              G               D
And I can't count the miles that I've walked to find my way
   Am7            G            D
To lay down these guns
              Am7            G            D          
How I need to lay down these guns


Chorus: 2

Am7         G                D
Lay down my guns and lift my hands
   Am7         G           D
Surrender to Love and live again
       Am7                G             D
May this desert reach its end where my new life begins
       F            C               G
When I lay down my guns and lift my hands
