Em              C           G
 I stripped it down for your naked eyes
Em            C              G
 So you could understand and let me inside
Em             C               G
 So I hope you know through the rising tide
Am            C                G
 That I'll be here and you can lay by my side


[Pre-Chorus 1]
C   D   Em
Oh, oh, oh
          G             D
You can rely on me, you know
C   D   Em
Oh, oh, oh
          G                  D
When this town is locked and closed


You can...


[Chorus]
C       G           Em
 Lay by me, I still care
 C        G            Em
When you need, lay by me
  C         G         Em
Lay by me, if you're here
 C          G        Em
You can still, lay by me

  C       G
(Hey-oh-yeah
 Em           C         G
Oh-oh-oh-oh, eh-oh-oh-oh)


[Verse 2]
Em          C         G
 I know the places you go to hide
Em             C                 G
 I've been in all those rooms I know what that's like
Em           C          G
 Staring at paint as you watch it dry
Am             C                G
 But don't forget your room is right next to mine


[Pre-Chorus 2]
             C   D  Em
And you can lay by me
     C               Am   G      D
If that is something you would need, yeah
 C   D  Em            D
Lay by me, if you need
       Em
You can...


[Chorus]
C       G            Em
 Lay by me, I still care
 C       G            Em
When you need, lay by me
 C          G          Em
Lay by me, if you're here
 C       G            Em
You can still, lay by me

C       G            Em
 Lay by me, I still care
 C       G            Em
When you need, lay by me
 C          G          Em
Lay by me, if you're here
 C       G            Em
You can still, lay by me

  C      G
(Hey-oh-yeah
 Em          C          G
Oh-oh-oh-oh, eh-oh-oh-oh
     Em
Hey-oh)

C        G            Em
 Lay by me, I still care
           G           Em
When you need, lay by me
            G           Em
Lay by me, if you're here
            G
You can still, lay by me
