[C]I want to lay down with [Gm]you for[Eb]ever
Or [Cm]just this afternoon
[C]Watching the shadows getting [Gm]long
I'll sing you a [Eb]quiet song
[Cm]Watch you sleep, slow and deep[C]
Chorus:
[Eb]Baby I know that all your [Cm]pain will pass
I know you're sad but [Gm]it won't last
I'm betting you [Cm]everything that I've got in my pocket
[Eb]When you're staring out in[Ab]to the sky
See what you have, and [Gm]don't ask why
Things can't be [Ab]different, they're perfect
Want to remind you how you laugh
Sometimes you don't even make a sound
Till you fall down on the ground
I'm going to love you every day
Maybe it'll balance out the pain
That I can't take away
(Chorus)
Instrumental over C Gm Eb Cm
Bridge:
[C]So come on and lay down with [Gm]me
I'll tell you all the [Bb]useless things that I have learned
But this one good thing my old man told me[C]
Last chorus:
[Eb]Baby I know that all your [Cm]pain will pass
I know you're sad but [Gm]it won't last
I'm betting you [Cm]everything that I've got in my pocket
[Eb]When you're staring out in[Bb]to the sky
See what you have, and [Gm]don't ask why
Things can't be [Ab]different, they're perfect[Cm]
Or [Cm]just this afternoon
[C]Watching the shadows getting [Gm]long
I'll sing you a [Eb]quiet song
[Cm]Watch you sleep, slow and deep[C]
Chorus:
[Eb]Baby I know that all your [Cm]pain will pass
I know you're sad but [Gm]it won't last
I'm betting you [Cm]everything that I've got in my pocket

See what you have, and [Gm]don't ask why
Things can't be [Ab]different, they're perfect
Want to remind you how you laugh
Sometimes you don't even make a sound
Till you fall down on the ground
I'm going to love you every day
Maybe it'll balance out the pain
