 G
Pages and pages and pages of poetry 
Cadd
 I am not doing so well 
  G
Teach me the Bible, the scriptures, disciples 
    Cadd
and baby teach me how to spell 

    Em                     G
My mother and father they got for a daughter 
  Cadd
I wish that I could have been more 
 Em                        G
They were so proud when I learned how to walk 
          Cadd
but since then I just lay on the floor 

       Am   Em    Am   Em (D)
Then I lay 


 G
Rosary's safe and my pillow is hair 
    Cadd
I'm coming to town, I'll call you when I get there 
 G
Nightmare explosions, and gentle corrosions 
  Cadd
I never back down from a dare 

         Em                      G
But you wasted the gift that I tried hard to give 
         Cadd
and you think that it's all so unfair 
    Em                       G
but after you spit and you stab and you seethe 
       Cadd
do you really expect me to care? 

       Am   Em    Am   Em (D)
Then I lay

G
Over and under, backwards and blundering 
Cadd
Let me get out of your hair 
 G
Making me hate, I hope that you're wondering 
Cadd
How will I ever repair? 

     Em                       G
But you'll be so sorry when they find my body 
 Cadd
Riddled with all your complaint 
    Em                          G
And all of your smoke and your mind is a joke 
       Cadd
Did it hurt you so much that you lay? 

       Am   Em    Am   Em (D)
Then I lay

G  D   Em   C
I lie down here,     x2

G  D   Em        C
I lie with the flies 
         Am         C
and the lilies you despise.
