[Primeira 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
[Refrão]
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

X2, G
[Terceira Parte]
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
[Quarta 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?
[Refrão]
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

[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?
[Refrão]
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
