difficulty
very easy |||||
                                                          Am         D  
Now I Lay Me Down To Cheat
                                                          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
                                                     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
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'
                                                          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
