[Verse 1]
[Em]To every son and daughter[C][D]
Wayward and [E]long gone
[Em]The love [C]of a father[D]
Will leave the [E]light [Em]on[C][D][Em][E]
I tried to throw [Em]you off

[Verse 2]
[C]track
[D]A needle in the haysta[E]ck
And I don't know [Em]how y[C]ou found m[D]e
Why you let me [E]come back?
'Coz it's [D]a long

[Verse 3]
[C]way hom[A]e
When [Em]all you're left to carry
Is [D]a h[C]eart of s[A]tone
And the [G]weight of most the [D]world

[Verse 4]
And I'd like [Em]to
Lay it [C]down a [Em]little
Lay it [C]down a lot
[G]I don't wanna h[D]old it anymore

[Em]Lay it down [C]in piece[Em]s
Or lay it [C]down in whole
[G]Everything I've car[D]ried on my own

[Em]Lay it down, lay it down[C]
[Em]Lay it down, lay it down
[C]

[Verse 7]
[Em]
I spent your [C]money[D]
Living on [E]the fringes
But you threw [Em]a party [C]for me
[D]Invited all your big fri[E]ends
And I [D]have

[Verse 8]
[C]learned a [A]little bit
[Em]About a heavy load
All [D]that [C]gleams and [A]glitters
Is not [G]worth its weight in [D]gold

[Verse 9]
And I know [Em]I should
Lay it [C]down a [Em]little
Lay it [C]down a lot
[G]I don't wanna h[D]old it anymore

[Verse 10]
[Em]Lay it down [C]in pieces
[Em]Or lay it do[C]wn in whole
[G]Everything I've [D]carried on my [Em]own

Lay it down, lay it [C]down
[Em]Lay it down,

[Interlude 1]
lay it down
[C][Em][C][Em][C][D][C][D]
[Em]

[Verse 12]
Lay it [C]down a [Em]little
Lay it [C]down a lot
[G]I don't wanna h[D]old it a[Em]nymore

[Verse 13]
Lay it [C]down in pieces
[Em]Or lay it do[C]wn in whole
[G]Everything I've car[D]ried on my own

[E]To every son and dau[C]ghter[D]
Wayward and [E]long gone
