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