Allen Stone - Lay It Down Lyrics
Wanna be the first thing you reach for in the morning
And the last thing you put down at night
Want my heart to be the only thing you're chargin'
Search for me frantically when I'm out of sight
Is it too much to ask?
Lay it down
Lay it down
You can finish with your searchin'
I am waiting to be found
Lay it down
Lay it down
Lay it down
Keep me close enough to fit inside your pocket
If you're lookin' for some love, let me unlock it
When you need another chance, we can restart
Is it too much to ask?
Don't let this moment pass
Lay it down
Lay it down
You can finish with your searchin'
I am waiting to be found
Lay it down
Lay it down
Lookin' through the cracks of a faded glass
Waving at the world while your life goes passin' by (wastin' time)
Wake up on the side of reality
Open up your eyes and finally breathe
Lay it down
Lay it down
You can finish with your searchin'
I am waiting to be found
Lay it down
Lay it down
You won't find another version
That will always be around
Lay it down
Lay it down
If there's one thing that is certain
It's in front of you right now
Lay it down
Lay it down

I have literally listened a hundred times! Where did you come from??? I just found you a few days ago! So incredible
So amazing
Just wow! Amazing
Anyone know what tuning the guitar is in? Would love to learn this version
Remayn Official pretty sure it’s standard.
Standard tuning. Here's what I'm hearing (more or less):
Verse:
C#m7 - x424xx
B - x244xx-
G#m7 - 4x44xx
F#m7 - 2x44xx
Pre-Chorus ("Is it too much to ask?" x2):
A - x7765x
B - x9987x
Chorus:
E - 012200
G#7 - 4x45(5)x
A - x7765x *on the second chorus, he shifts the positions of this A & Am into basic open chords, i.e. 002220, 001220)
Am - x7755x
E - 012200
B - x9987x
Am - x7755x ***(He skips this Am when going into the bridge)
Bridge ("Lookin' through the cracks..."):
Am11 - 5x553x
Asus - 557755
E - 012200 (with a hammer on/off 2nd fret 3rd string to turn it into an Esus for flair)
Am11 - 5x553x
Asus - 557755
B - x9987x
On the last chorus he loops the first four chords (E, G#7, A, Am), while he lets his voice fly into the high heavens, and then brings it back down with
E - 012200
B - x244xx-
Am - x7755x
E - 012200
Note: I have never taken a music theory class (aside from searching YouTube videos), so if any theory geeks out there feel like correcting my labels or what I'm hearing, please do so.
Bless you for writing all those notes out! Much appreciated!
It felt like a lower tuning to me, but I guess I’m hearing it wrong. When he sings ‘morning’ that bass note sounded lower than an E to me, but hey ho!
Thank you
This is gold
Chills.
One in a million this bloke, not many possess such a talent both musically and songwriting. Very very special.
his style is all wrong.
So much passion. Cant get enough of live performances like this.

LYRICS:
wanna be the first thing you reach for in the mornin
and the last thing you put down at night
I want my heart to be the only thing to charge it
search for me frantically when I’m out of sight
is it too much to ask
is it too much to ask
lay it down
lay it down
you can finish with your searchin
i am waiting to be found
lay it down
lay it down
lay it down
keep me close enough to fit inside your pocket
let me see inside the windows to your heart
oh, if you’re looking for some love let me unlock it
if you need another chance we can restart
is it too much to ask
don’t let this moment last
lay it down
lay it down
you can finish with your searchin
i am waiting to be found
lay it down
lay it down
oh lookin through the cracks of a faded glass
waving at the world bye your life goes passing by
oh wake up on the side of reality
open up your eyes and finally breathe
lay it down
lay it down
you can finish with your searchin
cuz i am waiting to be found
lay it down
lay it down
if there’s one thing that is certain
its in front of you right now
lay it down
lay it down
you won’t find another version
that will always be around
lay it down
lay it down
lay it down
oh lay it down
Don't let this moment pass *
