What Baking Can Do

        F#
Make it work
Make it easy
Make it clever
Craft it into pieces
        B
Make it sweet
Crimp the edges
Or make it sour and serve with lemon wedges
     F#
Even doubt can be delicious
And it washes off of all the dirty dishes
          B
When it's done I can smile
                                   D#m
It's on someone else's plate for a while
             G#
I'll place it on display
          B                      C#
And then I'll slice and serve my worries away

F
I can fix this
Am
I can twist it into
Dm
Sugar, butter covered pieces
C#                 C
Never mind what's underneath it
F                 Am
I have done it before
               Dm
I'll bake me a door
C  A           Dm
To help me get through
C  A               Dm
I learned that from you
            A#m                   F#
Mama, it's amazing what baking can do

        F#
Make it up
And surprise them
Tell them all my secrets
But disguise them
        B
So they dance on the tongues
Of the very people that they're secrets from
       D#m
Make it soon
Make it better
       G#
Though better never lasts forever
             B
I'll make it small
      C#        F#  C#
So it fits even this
     B
Even now
            C#         F#       B
Even as the walls come tumbling down
          C#            F#        B
Even as I can't stop remembering how
                   C#
Every door we ever made
          F#          B
We never once walked out

G#m               B                 C#
Something I never got the chance to ask her about

D#m           F#
So with flour on my hands
               B               C#       F Am
I'll show them all how goddamn happy I am

Dm
Sugar, butter, flour
              G
Don't let me down
F                           Am
Let's see the next amazing thing
