G                  Dsus4D
I don't wanna be adored
                Am7
Don't wanna be first in line
                G
Or make myself heard
     G                     Dsus4 D
I'd like to bring a little light
                 Am7
To shine a light on your life
                  G
To make you feel loved

C                      G            Am7
No, don't wanna be the only one you know
               Dsus4      D
I wanna be the place you call home

Chorus:
   G    Dsus4 D C   G  Am7
I lay myself   down
    G      Dsus4 D    Am7       Dsus4    D
To make it so,   but you don't want to know
   G        Dsus4 D
I give much more
     Am7      Dsus4 D C D
Than I'd ever ask    for

Will you see me in the end?
Or is it just a waste of time
Trying to be your friend?
Just shine, shine, shine
Shine a little light
Shine a light on my life
And warm me up again

Fool, I wonder if you know yourself at all
You know that it could be so simple

Chorus:
I lay myself down to make it so
But you don't want to know
You take much more than I'd ever ask for

Say a word or two to brighten my day
Do you think that you could see a way

Chorus:
To lay yourself down and make it so?
But you don't want to know
You take much more than I'd ever ask for
