I'll never ^G walk away from this
I'll pull you closely to my chest
With a ^D father's breaking heart
I'll walk you ^G one last time into the dark
There are no ^G reasons to explain
A solid kill but there's no blame
There are no ^D answers though I pray
I die though ^G this is not my grave
And I ^Am lay you down ( ^D lay you down)
^G I'll carry you, child to a place where you can rest
Between tears that seep into the heavens and as I put you down to bed
It tears me ^D into pieces watching you fight to fill your lungs with breath
^G There's no need to struggle, there's no need to struggle
And I ^Am lay you down ( ^D lay you down)
Don't you cry no ^G more
I l ^Am ay me down ( ^D lay me down) ^G
D Mmm…Ohhh ^G h
^D Well, I'm not ready, ^C I'm not ready for ^G this
^D Oh, I'm not ready, ^C I'm not ready for ^G this
They'll ask no ^G branches from this soil
My broken spirit steals my voice
I have no ^D secrets to my name
Only the ^G shadows hide my shame
And so I lift you upon my shoulder
Inside a splintered wooden chest
To Ava ^D lon we line the street
I only ^G hope that you're finally at rest
^D I'm not ready for ^G this (I'm not ready, I'm not ready)
I l ^Am ay you down ( ^D lay you down)
Don't you cry no ^G more (I'm not ready, I'm not ready)
I l ^Am ay me down ( ^D lay me down)
I'd gladly ^Am lay me down ( ^D lay me down)
