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