Lie Down Here Be My Girl

Em
Well, you lost a foe

And you found a friend
C                            Am
Lie down here and be my girl
Em
I'm back now, baby, that man

He won't be coming round here again
C                            Am
Lie down here and be my girl

Em
I'm trying to tread careful, baby

You're as brittle as a wishbone of a bird
C                            Am
Lie down here and be my girl
Em
We've been scribbled in the margins

Of a story that is patently absurd
C                            Am
Lie down here and be my girl

G
Let it all come down

Yeah, tonight
Am    F    Am    F
Shine
Em                                            C         Am
Let it all come down

Em
It's a matter of some urgency

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

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

Em
Don't worry, baby, this old snake

Banging at your door
C                                               Am
Lie down here and be my girl (has got a few skins left to shed)
Em
You look so good

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

G
Let it all come down

Yeah, tonight
Am      F    Am     F
Shine
Em
Let it all come down

Em
One day I'll buy a factory

I'll assemble you on a production line
C                            Am
Lie down here and be my girl
Em
I'll build a million of you, baby

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

Em
I will fill the house with you

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

On my own, going out of my mind
C                             Am
Lie down here and be my girl

G
Let it all come down

Yeah, tonight
 Am     F    Am    F
Shine
Em                C        Am          Em
Tonight
