Now I Lay Me Down to Cheat David Allan Coe
David Allan Coe - Now I Lay Me Down To Cheat
Chorus:
Now I Lay Me Down To C[Am]heat[D]
On the woman I love so[G]
And if I die between these sh[Am]eets[D]
I pray to God she’ll never kn[G]ow
[G]She’s the best thing in his l[Am]ife[D]
Why she worships the [G]ground that he walks on
[G]She waits up for him at night and wo[Am]rries[D]
Till he’s safely [G]home[Am]
She always believes his stories a[D]bout workin’ over time[Am]
And in 20 years beside him
[D]Cheatin’s never crossed her mind[G] [Am]
Ah but it [D]crossed his[G]
Early last summer
In the person of a neighbor
She still calls her [Am]friend[D] [G]
And with a little push from drinkin’ one too many
One night in the fall, he gave in[Am]
And now,[D] he wishes he could stop himself
But [Am]there’s no easy way
So he lays [D]down with his lover
And silently he prays
Chorus:
[Ab]In his heart and soul[Db]
He [Eb]knew he was playin’ a game he could never win[Ab]
But ya know, forbidden fruit is sweet[Db]
Why it was [Eb]sweet enough to make him r[Ab]isk it all again[Db]
And now, he’s[Eb] given up on lookin’
for a way to fight the feelin’[Db]
So he [Eb]prays this simple pray
And hopes it makes its makes it past the motel ceilin’
Chorus2:
Now I Lay Me Down To C[Db]heat[Eb]
On the woman I love so[Ab]
And if I die between these sh[Db]eets[Eb]
I pray to God she’ll never kn[Ab]ow
