I've been getting down about all the runaround
A E F#m D
About all the pushing and the standing in line
A E F#m D
But like my friends say you gotta do it anyway
A E F#m D
And it just gets harder when you ask why
F#m E A D
And I'm tired from all the weight
A E D
I'm tired of being strong
F#m E A D
So won't you come and stay
A E
And let me lay down in your arms
Esus F#m E A D
Down in my arms
A E F#m D
I've been getting up early I've been getting my coffee
A E F#m D
I've been getting in this car and driving all over town
A E F#m D
Talking to myself while I'm taking of my seat belt
A E F#m D
Some people don't know how to slow down
F#m E A D
And I'm tired from all the weight
A E D
I'm tired of being strong
F#m E A D
So won't you come and stay
A E
And let me lay down in your arms
Esus F#m E A D
Down in my arms

A E F#m D
So pack an overnight bag dont worry about what you have
A E F#m D
Cause if you need something you can just use mine
A E F#m D
And you don't have to promise more than you want to
A E F#m D
But if you want to see me this would be a good time
F#m E A D
And I'm tired from all the weight
A E D
I'm tired of being strong
F#m E A D
So won't you come and stay
A E
And let me lay down in your arms
Esus F#m E A D A
Down in my arms
