[Chorus]
Am D [tab] G On the woman I love so Am D And if I die between these sheets G I pray to God she?ll never know G Am D She?s the best thing in his life G Why she worships the ground that he walks on G Am D She waits up for him at night and worries G Am Till he?s safely home D Am She always believes his stories about workin? over time
And in 20 years beside him
D G Am Cheatin?s never crossed her mind D G Ah but it crossed his
Early last summer
In the person of a neighbor
Am D G She still calls her friend
And with a little push from drinkin? one too many
Am One night in the fall, he gave in D And now, he wishes he could stop himself Am But there?s no easy way D So he lays down with his lover
And silently he prays
[Chorus]
Ab Db In his heart and soul Eb Ab He knew he was playin? a game he could never win Db But ya know, forbidden fruit is sweet Eb Ab Db Why it was sweet enough to make him risk it all again Eb And now, he?s given up on lookin? Db for a way to fight the feelin? Eb So he prays this simple pray
And hopes it makes its makes it past the motel ceilin?
[Chorus 2]
Db Eb Now I Lay Me Down To Cheat Ab On the woman I love so Db Eb And if I die between these sheets Ab I pray to God she?ll never know
