You'd ask me [G] so often to vacuate [E] you
[G] About flowers and dancing and chasing you
And the vandamo farms on a hot afternoon
[C#m] And we'd talk [A] about love, thought you would
[D]
[A] My [D] [A] [B] treacherous [A] heart [E] was a burdensome test
[B] You handled [A] it well [E] in your words [Bm] full of [C#m] jest
[B] But you knew deep [A] inside [E] I would squander the best
[F#m] No hope for my lovers, [A] my enemies less
Lay [E] me down, love, [A] lay me
[E] down
My love, lay [A]
me down
I'm bound [Em] to remember you
[B] Through the cold [A] nights, burning [E] lights, hurt deep inside
[B] You gave me [Em] your [A] money, [E] you were there by my side
[B] But the reason [A] I quit [E] was I was missing my pride
[F#m] When I wanted to love you, [A] I needed to hide
[E] Lay me down, love, lay me [A] down
Lay [E] me down, love
[A]
Then I'm bound [D] to remember

[B] For the memory [A] lingers [E] of when you
[B] Miss you [A] there for a [E] smile, that would haunt everything
[C#m] So be gone from [F#m] my life, [Em] disappear [A] from my mirror
