Bruton/Kristofferson/Utley
Album: Eastern Island


INTRO: A  G  D  A  D  E  A

A                           D
I'm not mad a nothin' baby, try to understand
A                 D        E     A
I don't care what happened yesterday, no
              A7                D
I'm just glad you're so glad to see my face again
A                   D       E  A
That's all that's important anyway


CHORUS:
A                             G  D
I believe the hardest part is over
A             D       E     A
Wakin' up without you every day
A                                G   D
Nothin' matters now that we're together
A               D        E      A
Lay me down and love the world away


INTRO


We've no way of knowin', baby how it's gonna end
Maybe we'll be sorry one more time
It just feels so good to me to feel so good again
I'll just lay my chances on the line


CHORUS


CHORUS 2 (and fade):
I believe the hardest part is over
Lay me down and love the world away
Nothin' matters now that we're together
Lay me down and love the world away
