The 1975

She Lays Down

The 1975


Tom: G

    C        G         D       G
And she lays down on the bedroom floor
    C              G  
The chemicals that make her laugh
D                        D     G
Don't seem to be working anymore
    C         G            D         G  
She tries her best, but it hurts her chest
    C               G
And even though her son is gone
      D                        D        G
She'd like to love her child nevertheless


[Verse 2]

   C       G            D         G  
My hair is brown, she's scared to touch
    C                 G
And she just wants to feel something
    D                           D          G
And I don't think that's asking for too much
    C            D                 
And when I go to sleep 
G                       C
It's when she begins to weep


[Chorus]

      D               G            C
She's appalled by not loving me at all
C           G                  D
She wears a frown and dressing gown
     D        G
When she lays down


[Verse 3]

        C     G                D       G
Well we got a plane, to see my dad again
C                         G
She prayed that we'd fall from the sky
D               D       G
Simply to alleviate the pain
C        G
Over the water, hmm
D        G
Over terrain
    C              G                  D
The engines all go bust, we'd turn to dust
                   D       G
And I've no reason to complain, yeah
C                            D
And in the end, she chose cocaine
G                       C
But it couldn't fix her brain


[Chorus]

      D                       G            C
She's appalled oh she doesn't love me at all
C           G                  D
She wears a frown and dressing gown
     D        G
When she lays down
