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