Em
Look into the yard
Ebaug G C#dim
All the flowers find it hard to climb
Em
See, the weeds have won

Take the water and the sun

Then it finds me in the clear

Now you can see
C C#dim
The worst of days has got the best of me
Chorus:
Em Ebaug
So lay me down to sleep
G C#dim
And pray my soul to keep me
C C#dim
Moving on
C C#dim
When I'm gone
Em
You take me in
Ebaug G C#dim
With the color of my skin turned gray
Em
Doctor, will you let us know

We'll bring him home for surgery

With a tweezer and a match
C#dim
Kill tick and flea

I never will forget you when I'm gone

Carry on
Em
Whisper over me
Ebaug G C#dim
I can rest in peace of mind
Em
My eyes are wide
Ebaug G C#dim
But still dark inside this time
C
I have it all
C#dim
In front of me
C
Such a simple world
C#dim
I could never see
C
But you gave it all
C#dim
For just one day
C
I found a reason to live
C#dim
And pass away

So lay me down to sleep

And you're moving on
