[Chorus]
C     Em             Am         G
 Come down, put your head on my shoulder

C               Em         Am   G
 Let’s put your worries at baaaaay

C     Em               Am        G
 I’ve found there’s no use in pretending

C           Em               Am   G
one day the hurting will all faaaaade
[Verse 1]
C       Em       Am          G
 You’ve seen the darkness in others

  C             Em            Am   G
a ripple in the water of your skiiiin

C       Em       Am           G
 You’ve been the brightest of colors

    C             Em             Am  G
now black and red flood you from within
[Chorus]
C     Em             Am         G
 Come down, put your head on my shoulder

C          Em             Am               G
 Take your burdens, and unload them on the floor

C     Em             Am          G
 I’ve found when you hold pain inside you

   C                       Em             Am   G
It doesn’t shrink, it just grows more and mooooore
[Verse 2]
C      Em    Am        G
 There is an anger and sadness,

  C             Em                  Am   G
resentment when you’re left on your oooooown

C      Em        Am             G
 There is always time in the madness

   C                Em          Am     G
to spare for you so you are not aloooooone
[Chorus]
             C     Em           Am          G
(So please ) Come down, You’ve flown far away

     C               Em               Am    G
It’s safe for you to land here on the grooooound

C     Em        Am          G
 I’ve found the further you stray

C         Em                Am       G
 from the land, you are preparing to drown
[Instrumental] C Em Am G (x8) [Verse 3]
C              Em             Am             G
 Where there’s loss, there is something left over

  C            Em             Am     G
A figment or a whisper in the wiiiiiind

   C              Em       Am          G
If you close your eyes, believe it can happen

    C                  Em             Am     G
the wall you built can come back down agaiiiiiin
[Chorus]
            C     Em             Am           G
(So please)  Come down, lay your head on a pillow

C                     Em                 Am     G
feel the cotton as it rests against your cheeeeeek

C     Em             Am          G
 I’ve found from the leaves of a willow

     C                 Em             Am   G
even nature takes some time so it can weeeeep
[Instrumental] C Em Am G (to fade)
