Bed Of The Lake

Em C G Dsus4


[Verse 1]
    Em             C
His bedrooms a mess
        G             Dsus4
There's dirty clothes everywhere
            Em                   C
And there’s dishes in the kitchen
         G           Dsus4
Like the empire state building
        Em                   C
We ain’t taken out the rubbish
     G                   Dsus4
In a couple of months now
    Em             C
But when she comes around
      G                     Dsus4
There won’t be a speckle of dust to be found


[Interlude]
Em C G Dsus4


[Chorus]
        Em                C                   G    Dsus4
And his soul looks like a pretty deep blue sea
            Em         C              G   Dsus4
And you can swim in it for a month or so
             Em         C              G       Dsus4
But when the summer sun bakes, all the water evaporates
        Em              C                      G     Dsus4
And the cracks begin to show in the bed of the lake
        Em              C                      G     Dsus4
Oh, the cracks begin to show in the bed of the lake


[Verse 2]
    Em              C
His family is broken
G             Dsus4   Em           C     G    Dsus4
Nobody has spoken for God knows how long
                  Em              C
Though there’s an elephant in the room
G                    Dsus4
Nobody knows what to do
        Em                 C                  G    Dsus4
So they sit there silently sippin' their wine
             Em             C
But when the neighbors drop by
     G        Dsus4
They all get along just fine


[Interlude]
Em C G Dsus4


[Chorus]
        Em                C                    G    Dsus4
And his home looks like a pretty deep blue sea
            Em         C              G   Dsus4
And you can swim in it for a month or so
             Em         C              G       Dsus4
But when the summer sun bakes, all the water evaporates
        Em              C                      G     Dsus4
And the cracks begin to show in the bed of the lake
        Em              C                      G     Dsus4
Oh, the cracks begin to show in the bed of the lake


[Bridge]
   Em                G
No one or nothing is perfect
       D              C
I know I am certainly not
         Em                G
When you scrape below the surface
        D                  G
And you gaze behind the curtain
         D              C
What you find is just a person


[Verse 3]
    Em       C             G          Dsus4
His smile is wide, and his eyes shine bright
    Em                 C             G      Dsus4
And everybody falls in love with his charm
           Em                   C
Though his laugh is the loudest
    G                  Dsus4
And everybody says how proud they are
         Em                C
When the people take their leave
       G       Dsus4            Em    C    G    Dsus4
Like a baby he cries herself to sleep


[Chorus]
        Em                C                    G    Dsus4
And his soul looks like a pretty deep blue sea
            Em         C              G   Dsus4
And you can swim in it for a month or so
             Em         C              G       Dsus4
But when the summer sun bakes, all the water evaporates
        Em              C                      G     Dsus4
And the cracks begin to show in the bed of the lake
        Em              C                      G     Dsus4
Oh, the cracks begin to show in the bed of the lake


[Outro]
        Em              C                      G     Dsus4
Oh, the cracks begin to show in the bed of the lake
        Em              C                      G     Dsus4   Em   C
Oh, the cracks begin to show in the bed of the lake
