D#m                A#m
It takes the pain away
D#m                      A#m
That could not make you stay
F#            A#m
It's way to broke to fix
F#          A#m
No glue, no bag of tricks

Chords:
 B
Lay me down
    D#m        A#m
The lie will unfurl
 B     A#m      D#m
Lay me down to crawl

Your smile would make me sneeze
When we were Siamese
Amazing grace in here
I'd pay to have you near

Chorus

Don't go and lose your face
At some stranger's place
And don't forget to breathe
And pay before you leave

Chorus - x2
