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