VERSE:
Em D
Straight as the wood of the cross

As sure as inside the egg lays the yolk

And I'll keep singing 'til I croak (oh baby!)

Come lay your head on my lap
D
And let your hair fall back
Bm
You've got to live with yourself
Em
So baby don't look back
Em
Come lay your head on my lap
D
And let your hair fall back
Bm
You've got to live with yourself
Em
So baby don't look back
Don't look back!
