C G
Starlight, satin sheets are gone
C G
Looks like I'm back where I belong
F G
Washed all your tears away like a cold, cold rain
Am F G
All that's left is the numbness, drowned all the pain
Chorus:
F C
So just lay me down
F C
And kiss me to sleep
Am F
And if I'm going in the ground, better nail that pine box down
G
and dig that hole real deep
F C
So just lay me down
F C
and kiss me goodnight
Am F
and midnight wonders on and she stored away my soul
G C C/B Am Am/G F G
in the morning light in this cold and lonely life
Sunlight, never gonna grace my eyes
My life has been right between the lines
They call me a dreamer, now the dreams are all gone
And the cards that I was holding, didn't last me too long
Chorus
C C/B Am Am/G F G
Sometimes goodbye feels so right
