Capo 1st Fret
Strumming pattern is mainly down, down, up, down, up

[Intro]
      Am                    C                      Am                    C
e|----0----------3----------0----------3-----------0----------3----------0---|
B|----1-----/3h5---5p3\-----1-----/3h5---5p3\------1-----/3h5----5p3\----1---|
G|----2---------------------0----------------------2---------------------0---|
D|----2---------------------2----------------------2---------------------2---|
A|----0---------------------3----------------------0---------------------3---|
E|----0---------------------0----------------------0---------------------0---|

[Verse]
Am      G                 C
All the pretty girls like Samuel
Am    G              C
Oh he really doesn't share
Am              G                C
And though it's more than he can handle
Am      G            F 
Life is anything but fair, life is anything but fair
Am G     C
Oh oh oh oh wohoohoo
Am G     C
Oh oh oh ohhhh
Am      G                 C
Just as soon as they turn older
Am       G                    C
Come and sweep them off their feet
Am        G              C
It's only making me feel smaller
Am      G           F
All the hidden love beneath

[Pre-Chorus]
             Am       G        C
So won't you lay me, Won't you lay me down
          Am      G         F      C
Won't you lay me, Won't you lay me down
          Am      G         F      C
Won't you lay me, Won't you lay me down
          Am      G         G7
Won't you lay me, Won't you lay... me down

[Chorus] Repeat 2x 
(Note: I used a slapping technique similar to some John Mayer songs,
so if you've learned that pattern, then this will be easier and if not, then it may take some time to pick up.
As you slap with your thumn, you strum the other notes with your index too)

    Am                G                C

[Bridge]
(Note: on the Am, C and F I use a slap again in the pattern I show below)
All alone alone again, no one lends a helping hand
   Dm              G7                            Am
e|--1---------------1----------------------------0---------0--------0--------|

E|--0---------------3----------------------------0-----s---0----s---0--------|

       C       F      C
I have waited, I have waited
Dm                        G7                               Am
Takes its toll my foolish pride, How long before I see the light
       C       F      C
I have waited, I have waited
Dm                G7
For you to lay me down...

[Verse]
Am       G          C
Sail on by, Sail on by for me now
Am    G                 C
They play naked in the water
Am            G            C
You know it's hard, heaven knows I've tried
Am     G                  C
But it just keeps getting harder

[Pre-Chorus]
(Use single strums here)
             Am       G        C
So won't you lay me, Won't you lay me down
          Am      G         F      C
Won't you lay me, Won't you lay me down
          Am      G         F      C
Won't you lay me, Won't you lay me down
          Am      G         G7
Won't you lay me, Won't you lay... me down

[Chorus]
Won't you lay me...
    Am                G                C
e|----------3--0------3-------------------------3--0------3/5--\3---0------------|

A|--0----s--0----s---------------------3----s---3----s----3/5--\s---3----s-------|

    Am                G                C
e|----------3--0------3-------------------------0----------0h1--1--1-0----------|
B|--1h3--3-------1------------3--------1----1-----0---1---------0-------0-------|

[Outro]
(WIth slapping as before)
   Am              G                  C
Oh I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait for you
   Am              G                  F
Oh I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait for you
C     Am              G      F           C
Ohhhh I wait, I wait, I wait I wa-it for you
   Am              G                  C
Oh I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait for you

(Back to regular strumming)
           Am      G         C
For you to lay me, won't you lay me down
