Lay Your Wager Down Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Bm][D][Em]
[D][Esus4][F#m][D][G]
[Bm]

[Verse 1]
[Bm]You're my flesh [D]an d blood
But we're not the same
[Em]A common nam[Esus4]e
[A]And now[F#m]
[D]A common [G]distance

[Verse 2]
[Bm]
I looked up to you
[D]In your plush armchair
[Em]Respec[A]t or fear
[F#m]I couldn't see [D]the [G]difference

[Verse 3]
[G]
Lay your [D]wager [Em]down[G][A]
Who'll be [D]king [Em]in
Tinsel [G]Town?[A]
'Cause all the [Bm]prophets and [A]the gypsies
On [D]the strip in Venice [G]Beach

[Verse 4]
Have [Bm]looked me in the [A]eye
And said, "Your [D]dreams
still lie in [G]reach"
[Bm]And who am I [A]to doubt them
And who [D]are you

[Interlude 1]
To write these speeches?
[G][Bm]
[D]
[Em][Esus4][F#m][D]
[G][Bm]

[Verse 5]
Is it my [Bm]poverty
[D]That brings a blush to you[Em]?
Or the honesty
[D]That [F#m]speaks the [G]mind

[Verse 6]
That comes with it
[Bm]
Were you once a [D]man
With younger [Em]eyes
A hungry [Esus4]pride
That [F#m]would not [D]feel[G]

[Verse 7]
Resistance?
[G]
Lay your [D]wager [Em]down[G]
[A]They're crowning the kin[D]g
[Em]in Tinsel To[G]wn[A]
There are [Bm]strangers, there are [A]lovers
Out [D]on Fairfax in a [G]line

[Verse 8]
They [Bm]look me in the [A]eye
And say "Our thought
[D]s are intertwi[G]ned"
And [Bm]who am I to doubt [A]them?
And who are [D]you to tear down
These [G]signs?

[Outro 1]
