A                 E    F#m              D
I've been getting down about all the runaround
A             E       F#m                 D
About all the pushing and the standing in line
A                   E   F#m             D
But like my friends say you gotta do it anyway
A                E      F#m          D
And it just gets harder when you ask why
        F#m   E    A        D
And I'm tired from all the weight
A            E      D
I'm tired of being strong
F#m      E   A        D
So won't you come and stay
            A                 E
And let me  lay  down in your arms
Esus        F#m E  A  D
Down in my arms
 A                   E     F#m                   D
I've been getting up early I've been getting my coffee
A                         E               F#m      D
I've been getting in this car and driving all over town
A              E  F#m                    D
Talking to myself while I'm taking of my seat belt
A           E          F#m         D
Some people don't know how to slow down
        F#m   E    A        D
And I'm tired from all the weight
A            E      D
I'm tired of being strong
F#m      E   A        D
So won't you come and stay
            A                 E
And let me  lay  down in your arms
Esus        F#m E  A  D
Down in my arms
E    D           A             E
I've got a troubled a troubled mind
F#m              A                E
And you've got a heart a heart so kind
     F#m E A  D
so kind
A          E             F#m              D
So pack an overnight bag dont worry about what you have
A                 E         F#m              D
Cause if you need something you can just use mine
A                     E       F#m            D^?
And you don't have to promise more than you want to
A                  E      F#m             D
But if you want to see me this would be a good time
        F#m   E    A        D
And I'm tired from all the weight
A            E      D
I'm tired of being strong
F#m      E   A        D
So won't you come and stay
            A                 E
And let me  lay  down in your arms
Esus        F#m E  A  D  A
Down in my arms
