[Verse]
Am       G                 C
  All the pretty girls like Samuel
Am     G                C
  ohh he really doesn't share
Am           G                   C
  Although it's more than he can handle
Am      G                F   
  life is anything but fair, life is anything but fair

[Instrumental]

Am - G - C

[Verse]
Am        G                 C
  Just as soon as they turn older
Am               G                    C
  he'll come and sweep them off their feet
Am          G              C 
  It's only making me feel smaller
Am       G              F
  All the hidden love beneath

[Chorus]
             Am     G          C 
So won't you lay me, won't you lay me down
          Am     G          F      C 
Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down
          Am     G          F      C
Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down
          Am     G          G7       
Won't you lay me, won't you lay - me down

[Bridge]
Dm                   G7
  All alone, alone again
                        Am
No one lends a helping hand
       C      F       C 
I have waited, I have waited
Dm                               G7
  Takes it's toll, one's foolish pride
                           Am
How long before I see the light
       C      F       C
I have waited, I have waited
    Dm            G7
for you to lay me down

[Verse]
Am        G           C
  Sail on by, sail on by for now
Am     G                  C
  They play naked in the water
Am              G            C 
  You know it's hard, heaven knows I've tried
Am        G                 F
  But it just keeps getting harder

[Chorus]
             Am     G          C 
So won't you lay me, won't you lay me down
          Am     G          F      C 
Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down
          Am     G          F      C
Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down
          Am     G          G7 
Won't you lay me, won't you lay 

             Am     G          C 
Oh won't you lay me, won't you lay me down
          Am     G             F      C 
Won't you lay me, oh won't you lay me down
             Am     G              F      C
Oh won't you lay me, say won't you lay me down
          Am G   C
Won't you lay me down

[Refrain]
         Am                    G                   C
Oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you
           Am                    G              F       C
Yeah, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you
         Am               G               F        C
Oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you
         Am                    G                   C
Oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you

[Outro]
           Am      G
For you to lay me
          C
won't you lay me down
