[Primera Parte]

D                   Am
I have mapped the cupboards and drawers
D7                       Eº
Tracked the least-walked spots on the
Floor
Bm          E
Happy to be home, safe and warm
F                      B7
As shadows by their feet, the odd
Vanishing treat
B7
Quietly eating while they sleep

[Segunda Parte]

Em                      A
So here’s where I’ll be raising my kids
D7                F#
If I can find someone to start a family
 With
Bm                   E
Till then I dream of the day my odds
And ends fit
F                         B7
I’ll wake up, there’ll be food on the
Stove forever
B7
And never want for more

[Estribillo]

Em                     G
Is there cheese in the great beyond?
Cm/A           G            D      B7
Rinds of parmesan, wine to water, night
     Em
 From dawn
Em                 G7             C
Life gets shorter, teeth grow long
Cm                G          D
Mind me not and I’ll mind my own, and
B7
My mind’s
Em           Em7M        Em7
Not one bite smaller or lesser than
A7
Yours
   Am          D7
Do I belong in “right and wrong?”
          G
Nature, I guess

D                   Am
One night one flung light through this
Place
D7                        Eº
So I run for cover, over under, left
The rind out on the plate
Bm                      E
Little heart racing and praying
“Something keep me safe.”
F                  B7
I think it saw my face, okay

One hungry day is nothing, come what
May

[Cuarta Parte]

Em                   A
But then winter came inside for three
Nights
        D7
Left me grinding my teeth between my
F#
Walls and gripping my dreams tight
Bm                 E
Curled up, kept my head up and put up
The fight
F                       B7
I’ll make it through again. I have
Before. Come on now, what’s one
More?

[Estribillo]

Em                     G
Is there cheese in the great beyond?
Cm/A           G            D      B7
Rinds of parmesan, wine to water, night

 From dawn
Em                 G7             C
Life gets shorter, teeth grow long
Cm                G          D
Mind me not and I’ll mind my own, and
B7
My mind’s
Em           Em7M        Em7
Not one bite smaller or lesser than
A7
Yours

[Ponte A]

G
Spring bloomed in the kitchen again
     Eº
So I crawled out of the wall and
Squinting
Bm                                 E
Saw hope on the stovetop just like I’d
Always imagined it
Em                A7                 D
More than I could eat, my dreams were
          D7
Finally reality
   B7
My struggles had a happy ending, they
 Em                E N.C
Must want to be friends!
F                     B7
My stomach starts to turn, with thirst
 Why does it hurt?
B7
My just dessert is served again

[Ponte B]

Em               G
And so I stumble back to bed
Cm/A                   G
Something’s not quite right. Guess I’ll
  D       B7     Em
 Just go rest my head
Em              G7          C
Now as I lay me down to sleep
Cm           G               D
I expect no dreams, and no sweet
    B7     Em
Goodbye to me
Em               G7
Flatline in the morning light
C  Cm            G            D
   I held on so tight for so long
      B7       Em          Em7M
It’s just not right, let a sigh out as
Em7         A7
 I close my eyes
Am                 D7
Was that all there was to this?
B7              Em
What’s for the best?

[Estribillo]
Em                      G
Is there cheese in the great beyond?
Cm/A                 G             D
What’s the moon made of? Meet me there
   B7       Em
After I’m gone
Em                  G7            C
Life gets shorter, teeth grow long
Cm                G          D
Mind me not and I’ll mind my own, and
B7
My mind
Em            Em7M         Em7
Held the same light as the one in your
A7
Eyes

[Final]
   Am           D7
Do I belong in “right and wrong?”
    Am              D7
One dies alone? And why? Don’t know
   Am
Goodbye. So long
   D7
To mice in holes

Nature I guess
