   If you stay sober,  I'll put the kettle on.

                 A5     D5             G5               
And you can come over, drink tea, and watch the lawn,
   
      C5       G5     
And I'll lay you down.

      C5      G5   
I'll lay you down

        C5                 G5               C5  D5 A5
As the lights come on in town when day is over.

E5         A5         D5           G5  E5
I wanted to die for two days in  95??? 
         
                A5                D5                    G5       
I stood by the lakeside and waited for the mood to be right.

              C5           G5
As all the leaves turned brown,

  C5                  G5           C5               G5      D5  A5                             
I listened for the sounds starting to announce October.

Bridge:
E5     A5    D5     G5   E5  A5    D5   G5    E5

      C5       G5                         
I'll lay you down

            C5            G5
you can empty out your mouth

      C5          G5                 C5                  G5   D5   A5
and I'll arrange the room again when everything is over.
