Bed Of The Lake

Tom : Em
Em   C   G   Dsus4   Em   C   G   Dsus4

[Verse 1]
Em C
His bedrooms a mess
G Dsus4
There's dirty clothes everywhere
Em C
And there’s dishes in the kitchen
G Dsus4
Like the empire state building
Em C
We ain’t taken out the rubbish
G Dsus4
In a couple of months now
Em C
But when she comes around
G Dsus4
There won’t be a speckle of dust to be found

[Interlude]
Em C G Dsus4

[Chorus]
Em C G Dsus4
And his soul looks like a pretty deep blue sea
Em C G Dsus4
And you can swim in it for a month or so
Em C G Dsus4
But when the summer sun bakes, all the water evaporates
Em C G Dsus4
And the cracks begin to show in the bed of the lake
Em C G Dsus4
Oh, the cracks begin to show in the bed of the lake

[Verse 2]
Em C
His family is broken
G Dsus4 Em C G Dsus4
Nobody has spoken for God knows how long
Em C
Though there’s an elephant in the room
G Dsus4
Nobody knows what to do
Em C G Dsus4
So they sit there silently sippin' their wine
Em C
But when the neighbors drop by
G Dsus4
They all get along just fine

[Interlude]
Em C G Dsus4

[Chorus]
Em C G Dsus4
And his home looks like a pretty deep blue sea

[Bridge]
Em G
No one or nothing is perfect
D C
I know I am certainly not
Em G
When you scrape below the surface
D G
And you gaze behind the curtain
D C
What you find is just a person

[Verse 3]
Em C G Dsus4
His smile is wide, and his eyes shine bright
Em C G Dsus4
And everybody falls in love with his charm
Em C
Though his laugh is the loudest
G Dsus4
And everybody says how proud they are
Em C
When the people take their leave
G Dsus4 Em C G Dsus4
Like a baby he cries herself to sleep

[Chorus]
Em C G Dsus4
And his soul looks like a pretty deep blue sea

[Outro]
Em C G Dsus4
Oh, the cracks begin to show in the bed of the lake
Em C G Dsus4 Em C
Oh, the cracks begin to show in the bed of the lake
