Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Em][C][Am]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
[C]Okay[Am]
Well, you [Em]lost a foe
And you found a [C]friend
Lie down here and [Am]be my girl
[Em]I'm back now, baby, that man
He won't be coming
[D]'round [C]here again
Lie down here and [Am]be my gi[Em]rl
I'll try to tread careful, baby
You're as brittle as a wishbone of a [C]bird
Lie down here and [Am]be my girl
We've been [Em]scribbled in the margins
Of a story that is patently [C]absurd
Lie down here and [Am]be my girl

[Verse 2]
[Am]Let it a[G]ll come down
Yeah, tonight
Oh we can [Am]shine, [F]shi[Am]ne
[F]Let it all com[Em]e down
[C]Oh, be my [Am]girl, be my girl

[Interlude 1]
[Em][D][C][Am]

[Verse 3]
It's a [Em]matter of some urgency
Oh darling can't you see,
I can't [C]hold back the tide
Lie down here and [Am]be my girl
And stop your [Em]frantic little
fingers trying to collect
The years that pour from
[C]the hole in my side
Lie down here and [Am]be my gi[Em]rl
Don't worry, baby, this old snake
Banging at your [C]door
Lie down here and be my girl (has got
a few skin[Am]s left to shed)
[Em]You look so good, you look so good
Lie down here [C]and be my girl
(and the rest is [Am]better left unsaid)

[Verse 4]
Let it all come [G]down
Yeah, tonight
Oh [Am]shine, [F]we can shi[Am]ne
[F]Let it all come [Em]down [C]tonight
Be [Am]my girl, yeah, be my girl

[Verse 5]
[Em]You look so good
[D]You look so [C]good
You look so [Am]good
You look so good
You look so good

[Verse 6]
One [Em]day I'll buy a factory
I'll assemble you on a produc[C]tion line
Lie down here and [Am]be my girl
I'll [Em]build a million of you, baby
And every single one of
them will be [C]mine
Lie down here and [Am]be my girl
[Em]I will fill the house with you
Stack you up in every [C]room
Lie down here and be my girl (we'll have
a real [Am]good time)
But [Em]right now I'm sitting here
On my own, going out of my [C]mind
Lie down here and be [Am]my girl

[Verse 7]
[Am]Let it a[G]ll come down
Yeah, tonight
Oh we can [Am]shine, [F]shi[Am]ne[F]
Tonight
[Em]

[Verse 8]
[D]You [C]look so good
You [Am]look [Em]so good
You look so good
Tonight, tonight, tonight
We'll have a [Am]real good time
[C]You look so good
You look so good
[Am]You look so good
To[Em]night (Tonight, tonight)
[C]You're mine
Tonight, you [Am]look so good
We'll have a [Em]real good time
You look so good
[C]You look so [Am]good
You look so good
