C Fearful child, have faith in brighter days F Stay until this darkness fades away C Lie still beside me F C G I’ll hold you now, I’ll hold you forever Winter's hand will freeze your heart again Doors will close, no time to start again Nothing is given Except the ties that hold us together Chorus: Am Dm Lay down your load Am Dm Because everyday it’s going to grow C And bask in the sunshine F G C Try to pay no mind, try to pay no mind at all G To all the things that you don’t know F You’ve got time to realise C You’re shielded by the hands of love G Because you are young Fading light may make a fool of me Courage fails, strengths slip away from me Lie still beside me And hold me now, and hold me forever Fading light may make a fool of me Courage fails, strengths slip away from me Lie still beside me And hold me now, and hold me forever Chorus: Lay down your load Cause every day it's gonna grow These days are sacred Hey now, don't be scared, baby, don't be scared at all Of all the things that you don't know You've got time to realize You're shielded by the hands of love Cause you are young F You’ve got time you’ve got to try C To bring some good into this world G Because you are young C Because you are young F Oh oh oh woah C Oh woah oh F Oh oh oh woah C Oh woah oh F Oh oh oh woah C Oh woah oh Because you are young You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  Dm  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
