Across my dress he lay
                      A                                Em
And he held my hands above my head
And I commenced to pray
  Em                                             D

Send your angels down
                     A                              Em
Then feeling with my finger tips
The bottle neck I found


♫ Bridge:
  A                                            Bm
I drew that glass across his neck
Fine as any blade
                           C                               D B
Then I felt his blood pour fast and hot
Around me where I laid

                 A                                 Em
But when I go to sleep at night
Don't you call my name

Don't you call my name
