[C#] Some day they'll find your small town world on a big town avenue
Gonna make you like the way they talk when they're talking to you
Gonna make you break out of your shell cause they tell you to
Gonna make you like the way they lie, better than the truth
They'll tell you everything you wanted someone else to [F#] say
They're gonna break your heart, yeah, from what [C#] I've seen
You're [G#] just one more hand [D#m] made down
Cause [F#] no one's tried to give you what [C#] you need
So [G#] lay all your [F] troubles [A#m] down, I [F#] am with you now
[C#] Somebody ought to take you in, try to make you love again
Try to make you like the way they feel when they're under your skin
Never once did they think that they would lie when they're holding you
[F#] And you wonder why they [C#] haven't called [F#] when they [C#] said they'd call you
They start to wonder if you're ever gonna [F#] make it back
You'll start to think you were born blind from what [C#] I've seen
You're [G#] just one more hand [D#m] made down
Cause [F#] no one's tried to give you what [C#] you need
So [G#] lay all your [F] troubles [A#m] down, I [F#] am with you now
[C#] I'm [D#] here [A#m] for the hard times, the straight [F] to your heart times
When [C#] living ain't easy, you [Gm] can stand up against me
And [G] maybe [D#m] realize all you need [G#] and cry
[F#] all you [C#] need
[G#]
[D#m]
[F#]
[C#] Someday they'll open up your world, shake it down to the drawing board
Do their best to change you, [F#] they [D#m] still can't erase you from [A#m] what [C#] I've seen
You're [G#] just one more hand [D#m] made down
[F#] Cause no one's tried to give you what [C#] you need
So [G#] lay all [F] your troubles [A#m] down, I [F#] am with you now
Lay them down [C#] on me
[G#] Oh yeah, you're just one more hand [D#m] made down
[F#] And all those nights don't give you what [C#] you need
So [G#] lay all your [A] troubles [A#m] down [C#] on me
[F#]
[C#]
[F#]
[C#]
[F#]
I'm here [C#] for the hard times, [F#] the straight to your heart [D#m] [C#] times
When living ain't easy, [F#] you can stand up against me
And maybe realize all you need and cry [C#] all
