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