Alphabet Soup

   A
Remember when I told you to feed 
your dog
   F#m
Alphabet soup if you wanted him to 
speak he was
   D
A husky with one blue eye
   E
And the other brown like dirt on the
 ground

   A
He used to terrorize and chase my 
orange tabby
   F#m
Until we fell off the bed onto the 
carpet laughing
    D
I watched you turn into a whisper
    E
And I wanted to hear you so I 
thought I'd come closer

    D                 E           
You told me that when I grow up 
    A               F#m
I'll be just like my mother
     D                     
I think you thought it'd be 
    E           A              
insulting but why's it so bad to 
    F#m
smother
      D
Everything (everything)
      E
And everyone (everyone)
      A           F#m     D E
You love with affection and say 
things like you mean them

    A
Remember when you said that you 
liked poetry
     F#m
You had a bad habit and it forced 
you to condense things
     D
You made sure your words never left 
a trace
      E
You prayed they'd slip through 
cracks on sidewalks and holes in 
lace

          A
You were 10 years old when you were 
in a state spelling bee
         F#m
You misspelled Antarctica and you 
said it was embarrassing
     D
You knew your parents would never 
let you live it down
             E
You walked away from the podium 
tears staining shaky hands

   A   A/G# F#m    D      
I didn't mean to make you the 
       E
receiver
    A A/G#    F#m            D  
Of my miseries now you're 
               E
thinking how can I leave her
