Ilse DeLange - Lay Your Weapons Down

      [Intro]
D#m B F# A#

[Verse]
D#m                                    B
There's been a lot of miscommunication lately
F#                                 C#
A lot of wait and see and too many maybes
      D#m                                       B                                        F#         C#
And I wanna believe that your faith in me is as strong as it was when we thought we'd be unbreakable
D#m                         B
All the words we say end up distorted
     F#                             C#
From skinbreak to heartache without warning
    D#m                                      B                                 F#
And you don't mean it and I don't either, we get so close to being defeated by circumstance
      C#                G#m           B
Do we stand a chance to rise above it all
    G#m       B
But I feel so small

[Chorus]
                 D#m
Lay your weapons down
                       B
And I'll take my armor off
                    F#
Say what we need to say
                     A#
And love before it's lost
                       D#m
'Cause what we have is real
                      B
And real can hurt sometimes
                    F#                                 A#
But just because it hurts doesn't mean that we say goodbye
                    D#m
So lay your weapons down

   B
Ooh
                 F#
Lay your weapons down
   A#
Ooh

[Verse]
D#m                           B
Feel so uncomfortable in this silence
             F#                         C#
Behind these invisible walls we build inside us
   D#m                                         B                                             F#
So what's gonna give and what will it take for us to admit that we're both gonna break if we stay right here
            C#
Don't wanna stay right here

[Chorus]
                 D#m
Lay your weapons down
                       B
And I'll take my armor off
                    F#
Say what we need to say
                     A#
And love before it's lost
                       D#m
'Cause what we have is real
                      B
And real can hurt sometimes
                    F#                             A#
But just because it hurts doesn't mean that we say goodbye
                    D#m
So lay your weapons down

   B
Ooh
                 F#
Lay your weapons down
   A#
Ooh

D#m B F# A#

[Bridge]
        G#m*          B*
I wanna rise above it all
         D#m*          C#*
Will you hold me, just hold me

[Chorus]
                     D#m
And lay your weapons down
                       B
And I'll take my armor off
                    F#
Say what we need to say
                     A#
And love before it's lost
                       D#m
'Cause what we have is real
                      B
And real can hurt sometimes
                    F#                                 A#
But just because it hurts doesn't mean that we say goodbye
                    D#m
So lay your weapons down

   B
Ooh
                 C#m
Lay your weapons down
   A#
Ooh
                 D#m
Lay your weapons down
   B
Ooh
                 F#
Lay your weapons down
   A#
Ooh
