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