[Verse 1]
 
C#m7                           G#7
What will you do when you get lonely?
C#m7        C       D       E    E7
With no one waiting by your side
F#m          B           E                  A
You've been running and hiding much too long,
F#m            B                 E         A  (hold)
You know it's just your foolish pride,    Lay___la
 
 
[Chorus]
(Riff 1)
Dm    Bb      C            Dm
          You got me on my knees, Layla
Dm    Bb      C               Dm
          I'm begging darlin' please, Layla
Dm    Bb    C                  Dm
            Darlin', won't you ease my worried mind
Dm    Bb    C    A  C
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
C#m7                    G#7
Tried to give you consolation,
C#m7     C         D       E    E7
Your old man won't let you down
F#m     B       E                 A
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
F#m             B                  E        A  (hold)
You turned the whole world upside down,    Lay___la
 
 
[Chorus]
(Riff 1)
Dm    Bb      C            Dm
          You got me on my knees, Layla
Dm    Bb      C               Dm
          I'm begging darlin' please, Layla
Dm    Bb    C                  Dm
            Darlin', won't you ease my worried mind
Dm    Bb    C    A  C
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
C#m7                           G#7
Let's make the best of the situation
C#m7     C       D    E    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        A  (hold)
And tell me all my love's in vain,    Lay___la
 
 
[Chorus]
(Riff 1)
Dm    Bb    C            Dm
            Got me on my knees, Layla
Dm    Bb    C               Dm
            Begging darlin' please, Layla
Dm    Bb    C                  Dm
            Darlin', won't you ease my worried mind
Dm    Bb    C    Dm
                     Layla
 
Dm    Bb    C            Dm
            Got me on my knees, Layla

            Begging darlin' please, Layla
