When I Lay Down chords by Janis Ian
Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
(G major) They said lay down in the water
Even (E minor) though you don't believe
(Dsus4) All your (C major) sins will be forgiven
An (Dsus4) d your soul will be redeemed
(D major) So I (G major) walked into the water
and I (E minor) fell down on my knees
And I (C major) took out some insurance
and I (Dsus4) bought a little piece
But when I (E flat major) laid down, (Dsus4) I lied (G major)
When I (E flat major) laid down, (F major) I lied (G major)
He said, Darling, do you love me?
And (E minor) I said, Sure I do
And I (C major) led him to believe me
As (Dsus4) I proved that it was true
(D major) I (G major) let my body love him
God (E minor) knows I really tried
And the (C major) comfort of it touched him
And his (Dsus4) heart was satisfied
But when I (E flat major) laid down, (F major) I lied (G major)
When I (E flat major) lay down,
(F major) I (C major) lied to make them happy
And I (B flat major) lied so they would care
I (F major) lied cause I was lonely
(A flat major) and I lied (Gsus4) cause I was scared (G major)
I (C major) lied so some would leave me
And I (B flat major) lied so some would stay
I (F major) lied until I (F minor) lied my (A flat major) life away (C minor) (F minor)
(F major) I (G major) dreamed my life was over
And they (E minor) laid me in my grave
I was (C major) frightened of forever
and the (Dsus4) price I'd have to pay
(D major) And I (G major) thought that God would hate me
Cause I'd (E minor) lived my life in sin
But I (C major) felt the truth embrace me
As (Dsus4) heaven let me in
And when I (E flat major) laid down,
(D minor) I (E flat major) laid down (F major) and cried (G major) (C minor) (E flat major) (D minor) (E flat major) (F major)
You
