C#m                            G#
 What will you do when you get lonely?
C#m     C       D       E7
 No one waiting by your side
F#m          B        E               A
 You've been running, hiding much too long
F#m            B                 E 
 You know it's just your foolish pride

A  Dm Bb   C            Dm 
Layla, you got me on my knees,
      Bb C                Dm 
Layla,   begging darling, please
      Bb C                 Dm                     Bb  C 
Layla,   darling won't you ease my worried mind

C#m                 G#
 Tried to give consolation
C#m            C       D       E7
 When your old man had let you down
F#m     B       E                 A
 Like a fool, I fell in love with you
F#m            B                  E 
 You turned my whole world upside down

A  Dm Bb   C            Dm 
Layla, you got me on my knees,
      Bb C                Dm 
Layla,   begging darling, please
      Bb C                 Dm                     Bb  C 
Layla,   darling won't you ease my worried mind

C#m                       G#
 Make the best of the situation,
C#m       C       D    E7
 Before I finally go insane
F#m           B         E            A
 Please don't say we'll never find a way
F#m      B                E 
 Tell me all my love's in vain

A  Dm Bb   C            Dm
