Standard (EADGBE)

I've been getting down about all the runaround

About all the pushing and the standing in line

But like my friends say you gotta do it anyway

And it just gets harder when you ask why

 And I'm tired from all the weight

I'm tired of being strong

So won't you come and stay

 And let me lay down in your arms

Down in my arms

 I've been getting up early I've been getting my coffee

I've been getting in this car and driving all over town

Talking to myself while I'm taking of my seat belt

Some people don't know how to slow down

 And I'm tired from all the weight

I'm tired of being strong

So won't you come and stay

 And let me lay down in your arms

Down in my arms

I've got a troubled a troubled mind

And you've got a heart a heart so kind

 so kind

So pack an overnight bag dont worry about what you have

Cause if you need something you can just use mine

^?

And you don't have to promise more than you want to

But if you want to see me this would be a good time

 And I'm tired from all the weight

I'm tired of being strong

So won't you come and stay

 And let me lay down in your arms

Down in my arms
