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