[Verse]
   F F              F
I live in the room above her

        C#5 C#5          D
And she doesn't know my name

         F  F            F
But I'm afraid that if I see her

      C#5 C#5       D
I will not see you again

              F F           F
Sometimes she passes by the window

          C#5 C#5               D
Her skin is pearl and pale and ghost

           F  F           F
And I hear someone crying sometimes

               C#5 C#5           D    D#5
Like there was really something wrong oh-woah-oh...
[Chorus]
                     D   D#5
I hear her singin', "Lay down in my arms

F5                      C       C#5
Lover, you will one day miss all my charms

            D  D#5
So come on, lay down in my arms

F5                            C         C#5
Sleep, baby, sleep, the cruel morning is not very far"

[Verse]
        F F               F
I never see her watch the sunrise

         C#5 C#5        D
I hear a record lightly play

            F F               F
Sometimes I think I hear some movement

         C#5 C#5          D
Like something can't get away

            F F            F
Now there's a picture in a Bible

       C#5 C#5         D
That I swear I've seen before

              F F            F
Where she was bathing on the rooftop

      C#5 C#5      D  D#5
While David looked on oh-woah-oh...
[Chorus]
                     D   D#5
I hear her singin', "Lay down in my arms

F5                      C       C#5
Lover, you will one day miss all my charms

            D  D#5
So come on, lay down in my arms

F5                            C         C#5
Sleep, baby, sleep, the cruel morning is not very far"

[Outro] - clean
   F               F
I live in the room above her

      C#5          D
And I never make a sound

           F               F
Except the matches for the candles

        C#5             D
And the radio turned down
