As I Lay Me Down
sophie b. Hawkins

(Written in bold are the correct placements of the chords when strumming)
G  D  C                D                              Em                      C
           it felt like springtime on this february morning
           G                                   D                           G      D
in the courtyard birds were singing your praise
C                D                              Em                      C
i'm still recalling things you said to make me feel
G                               D
alright, i carry them with me today now

chorus:

G      D         C              D                 G            D                              C
as i lay me down to sleep, yes i pray, that you will hold me dear
D                          G              D          C        D                       G
     though i'm far away, i whisper your name, into the sky
D                                  C        D
and i will wake up happy
  

G D C D Em C
i wonder why -- i feel so high, while i'm not above my sorrow
G D G
heavy hearted 'til you call my name
D C D Em
and it sounds like churchbells or the whistle of a train
C G D
on a summer evening I want to meet you there, i'm barely breathing...

<< chorus x2 >>

G D C D G
it's not too near for me, like a flower i need the rain
D C D G
though it's not real to me, every season has its change
D C
and i will see you when the sun comes out again
