Verse 1:

G                    C
I know you have your problems

C                 G
Cause everybody's got 'em

                        C
If you get lost in your sorrows

G              Em       G
Then you could hit rock bottom

But if you smile in face of trivial things And you learn to pray when you wanna complain

Em                D
Stand up straight when the Earth is shaking

                                 G
And just breathing when you feel afraid

Oh, don't you know Chorus:

      C
Those problems you're worried about

           G
They can't keep you from living now

         C
When you shake 'em off and lay 'em down, down, down

       G
At the cross where your freedom's found

           C
Oh You can stand up no matter what

March on when times are tough

G
Be strong and don't give up

All you need now

C
Is to shake 'em off and lay 'em down

G
At the cross where your freedom's found

Repeat riff from verse 1: Verse 2:

G
We all have our seasons

        Em
When we get caught up in our feelings

G
And I know there's a time for laughter and a time for pain

A time for doubt and a time for faith

D
But when you believe you can find the strength

G
So get back up on your feet

Back to chorus. Bridge:

C
Lay it down, lay it down

                      G
Why you holding on so tight (lay it down, lay it down)

                         D
Oh, the freedom you will find

                G                      C
When you let go God will take over the fight (lay it down, lay it down)

                 D
Oh, just surrender (lay it down, lay it down)

                              C    G
And feel what it's like to be free again

G      C
ooooo  oooooo

C      G
ooooo  oooooo

Back to chorus. Hope you enjoy! :)
