I laid out for you
B
Let your hair down the

As I go to rinse

my hands of you
And watch the
D#m
pieces one by one
Wash away down the drain

I’ll fake this morning

Sleep tight my dear
This will be your

last night here

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
