Well, you lost a foe

And you found a friend
C majorC              A minorAm
Lie down here and be my girl
E MajorE
I'm back now, baby, that man

He won't be coming round here again
C majorC              A minorAm
Lie down here and be my girl

E MajorE
I'm trying to tread careful, baby

You're as brittle as a wishbone of a bird
C majorC              A minorAm
Lie down here and be my girl
E MajorE
We've been scribbled in the margins

Of a story that is patently absurd
C majorC              A minorAm
Lie down here and be my girl

G+G
Let it all come down

Yeah, tonight

It's a matter of some urgency

O darling can't you see, I can't hold back the tide
C majorC              A minorAm
Lie down here and be my girl
E MajorE
And stop your frantic little fingers trying to collect

The years that pour from the hole in my side
C majorC              A minorAm
Lie down here and be my girl

E minorEm
Don't worry, baby, this old snake

Banging at your door
C majorC                        A minorAm
Lie down here and be my girl (has got a few skins left to shed)
E minorEm
You look so good

You look so good
C majorC              A minorAm
Lie down here and be my girl (and the rest is better left unsaid)

G+G
Let it all come down

Yeah, tonight
A minorAm   FF  A minorAm   FF
Shine

Let it all come down

One day I'll buy a factory

I'll assemble you on a production line
C majorC              A minorAm
Lie down here and be my girl
E minorEm
I'll build a million of you, baby

And every single one of them will be mine
C majorC              A minorAm
Lie down here and be my girl

E minorEm
I will fill the house with you

Stack you up in every room
C majorC              A minorAm
Lie down here and be my girl (we'll have a real good time)
E minorEm
But right now I'm sitting here

On my own, going out of my mind
C majorC               A minorAm
Lie down here and be my girl

G+G
Let it all come down

Yeah, tonight

Tonight


You look so good (tonight)
