Now I Lay Me Down To Cheat Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Now I [D]lay me [G]down [C]to cheat[D]
On the woman I love [G]so
And if I die between these [Am]sheets[D]
I pray to God she'll never know
[G]

[Verse 2]
She's the [Gm]be st thing in this li[Am]fe
[D]Why she worships the ground
[G]that he walks on
She waits up for him at [Gm]night and worries
[Am]Unti[D]l he's safely
[G]home[Am]
And she always believes his stories
[Bm]about working overtime
[Am]And in twenty years beside him,
[D]cheating's never crossed her mind
[G]

[Verse 3]
[Am]
Aw but [D]it crossed [G]his
Early last summer
In a person of a neighbor that she still
calls her [Am]friend[D][G]
And with a little push from drinkin
one too many one night in the fall
He gave [Am]in
[Bm]And now he wishes
he could stop himself
But theres [Am]no easy way
So he lays down [D]with his lover
And silently he prays

[Verse 4]
Now I lay me down [C]to cheat[D]
On the woman I love [G]so
And if I die between these [Am]sheets
[D]I pray to God she'll never know
[G][Eb]

[Verse 5]
[Ab]
In his heart and [Bbm]soul
He knew that he [Eb]was playing a game he
could never [Ab]win[Abm]
But you know,
forbidden fruit [Ab]is sweet[Bbm]
Why it was [Eb]sweet enough to make
him risk [Ab]it all [Bbm]again
And now he's giv[Cm]ing up on looking for
a way to fight [Bbm]the feeling
So he prays this simple pray
[Eb]And hope it makes it past the hotel ceiling

[Verse 6]
Now I lay me down to [Db]cheat[Eb]
On the woman I love [Ab]so
And if I die between [Bbm]these sheets
[Eb]I pray to God she'll never know
[Ab]
