Verse
F#
Beautiful in the dress
A#m
I laid out for you
F#
Let your hair down the
A#m
way you always used to
F#
The tile is cold
A#m
the tap is dripping
As I go to rinse
F#
my hands of you
And watch the
A#m
pieces one by one
Wash away down the drain
Refrain:
G#
I’ll fake this morning
A#m
at your funeral
G#
Dressed in black and
F#
trying not to laugh
Chorus:
C#
Sleep tight my dear
This will be your
F#
last night here
A#m F#
Breathing among the living
C#
I’ve got some plans for you
Sweet dreams my love
F#
It will all be over soon
We’re just waiting
A#m
for the poison
F#
In your blood to
F# Fm A#m
reach your heart
Post chorus: E-Ebm-G#m(hold)
Verse 2:
F#
So cold and pale
A#m
laid out before me
F#
So weak and frail
A#m
quiet as can be
F#
Peacefully sleeping
A#m
for all eternity
No one will
F#
ever suspect me
A#m
Fingerprints and DNA
won’t give me away
(Repeat Refrain and Chorus and Post Chorus x3)
Bridge:
A#m
I brought your
favourite flowers
F#
Your mother said you
would have loved them
A#m
I’ll read your
favourite poem out loud
F#
And I’ll break down
I’ll break down
A#m
You said that I don’t feel
F#
And that’s why you
could not live with me
A#m
I don’t feel the least
bit sad right now
F#
How’s that for irony?
(Repeat Refrain)
F#
I can't Help not to laugh
(Repeat Chorus)
