Beautiful in the dress

I laid out for you

Let your hair down the

The tile is cold

the tap is dripping
As I go to rinse

my hands of you
And watch the

pieces one by one
Wash away down the drain

I’ll fake this morning
Am
at your funeral
G
Dressed in black and

trying not to laugh
Chorus:

Sleep tight my dear
This will be your
F
last night here
Am F
Breathing among the living

I’ve got some plans for you
Sweet dreams my love

It will all be over soon
We’re just waiting

for the poison
F
In your blood to

reach your heart

So cold and pale

laid out before me

Fingerprints and DNA
won’t give me away

Am
I brought your
favourite flowers

Your mother said you
would have loved them
Am
I’ll read your
favourite poem out loud

And I’ll break down
I’ll break down

And that’s why you
could not live with me

I don’t feel the least
bit sad right now

How’s that for irony?

I can't Help not to laugh
