from the album "Here We Rest"

DmC
Lay down beside me
DmC
Close your eyes and feel the noon day sun.
DmC
These eyes, they remind me
AmG
Of a scared and simple doe before she runs.
DmC
John was a Baptist.
DmC
He feared the world could end at any time.
DmC
You and I are charged with this, to hold the essence of a kiss.
AmG
To take these broken plans and make them rhyme.
AmBCAmBCG
Daisy Mae, Daisy Mae this hasn't been your day.
FAm
Hasn't been your day.

DmC
Here, he never touched you.
DmC
Inside this house he never called your name.
DmC
So stay where I can see you, girl. We both know the outside world
AmG
Is changing and it will never be the same.
DmC
My hands, they are wicked.
DmC
My head and my heart are wicked, too.
DmC
All these things that I do wrong, If you weren't given fear so strong
AmG
I would not be good enough for you.
AmBCAmBCGAm
Daisy Mae, Daisy Mae, this hasn't been your day.
F
But I won't lay this pistol down
C
until the sky falls to the ground.
G
Leave him there to call your name
F
'till man and land are both the same.
AmBCAmBCGF
Daisy Mae, Daisy Mae, this hasn't been your day.
AmBCAmBCG
Daisy Mae, Daisy Mae, this hasn't been your day.
FAm
Hasn't been your day.
