Verse 1:
E
Beautiful in the dress
G#m
I laid out for you
E
Let your hair down the
G#m
way you always used to
E
The tile is cold
G#m
the tap is dripping
As I go to rinse
E
my hands of you
And watch the
G#m
pieces one by one
Wash away down the drain
Refrain:
F#
I?ll fake this morning
G#m
at your funeral
F#
Dressed in black and
E
trying not to laugh
Chorus:
B
Sleep tight my dear
This will be your
E
last night here
G#mE
Breathing among the living
B
I?ve got some plans for you
Sweet dreams my love
E
It will all be over soon
We?re just waiting
G#m
for the poison
E
In your blood to
EEbmG#m
reach your heart
Post chorus: E-Ebm-G#m(hold)
Verse 2:
E
So cold and pale
G#m
laid out before me
E
So weak and frail
G#m
quiet as can be
E
Peacefully sleeping
G#m
for all eternity
No one will
E
ever suspect me
G#m
Fingerprints and DNA
won?t give me away
(Repeat Refrain and Chorus and Post Chorus x3)
Bridge:
G#m
I brought your
favourite flowers
E
Your mother said you
would have loved them
G#m
I?ll read your
favourite poem out loud
E
And I?ll break down
I?ll break down
G#m
You said that I don?t feel
E
And that?s why you
could not live with me
G#m
I don?t feel the least
bit sad right now
E
How?s that for irony?
(Repeat Refrain)
E
I can't Help not to laugh
(Repeat Chorus)
