Lay Down Your Pain

Words & Music:

Toni Childs

 

I've been a fan of hers from the first note I heard her sing ("Don't Walk Away") and still have a four-song EP of Union on cassette!.  Does anyone have any chords for her songs?

 

I can hear your voice, your voice calling from the window

When you yelled that night, I didn't understand at all.

But you hurt and you cried and you're mad

And you're angry at the world

You want to tear it down; you want to pull it down, down, down

 

CHORUS:

Come on and lay down, lay down, lay down your pain.

Can you lay down, lay down, lay down your pain?

 

Having you here, feels good, feels good inside the afternoon.

And no one else could ever take away that, man.

You wanted love, but have you fear.

You wanted love, but it's the fear & yet the fear, it feels so real.

And you run, run away, running from the pain, the pain.

 

CHORUS:

Come on and lay down, lay down, lay down your pain.  [2x]

Come on and lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down your pain!

 

Don't you see this world, this world can be what you want?

Don't give it up, boy, don't you give it up, don't give it...

Don't you give it up, boy.

You wanted love, you wanted joy,

You wanted simple things in life, simple things in life.

 

CODA:  [2x – with vocal variations and out]

The world, the world is a better place.

And this world is a better place, yes, the world is a better place.

1-2-3-4-5-6-7, all good girls go to heaven...that's what they say.

1-2-3-4-5-6-7, all good boys go to heaven...that's what they say.

'Cause the world is a better place, yes, the world is a better place.

 

Come on, come on & lay down, won't you lay down this pain?

Come on & lay down, lay down, won't you lay down this pain?

Come on & lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down this pain!
