Verse 1:
D                   Am
I have mapped the cupboards and drawers
D7                       Edim7
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

Verse 2:
Gmaj7                    A
So here’s where I’ll be raising my kids
D7                Gb
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

Chorus:
Em                     G
Is there cheese in the great beyond?
Am7                 G       D      B7       Em
Rinds of parmesan, wine to water, night from dawn
Em                 G7             C
Life gets shorter, teeth grow long
Cm                G          D        B7
Mind me not and I’ll mind my own, and my mind’s
Em           Emaj7      Emaj        A7
Not one bite smaller or lesser than yours
   Am          D7
Do I belong in “right and wrong?”
          G
Nature, I guess.

Verse 3:
D                   Am
One night one flung light through this place
D7                        Edim7
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,
B7
One hungry day is nothing, come what may.”

Verse 4:
Gmaj7                 A
But then winter came inside for three nights
        D7                           Gb
Left me grinding my teeth between my 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?

Chorus:
Em                     G
Is there cheese in the great beyond?
Am7                 G       D      B7       Em
Rinds of parmesan, wine to water, night from dawn
Em                 G7             C
Life gets shorter, teeth grow long
Cm                G          D        B7
Mind me not and I’ll mind my own, and my mind’s
Em           Emaj7      Emaj        A7
Not one bite smaller or lesser than yours
   Am          D7
Do I belong in “right and wrong?”
Nature, I guess.

Bridge:
G
Spring bloomed in the kitchen again
     Edim7
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          B7
More than I could eat, my dreams were finally reality
   F                                                  B7 nc
My struggles had a happy ending, they must want to be friends!
F
My stomach starts to turn, with thirst, why does it hurt?
B7
My just desert is served, dig in.

Bridge:
Em               G
And so I stumble back to bed
Am7                   G                 D       B7     Em
Something’s not quite right. Guess I’ll just go rest my head
Em              G7      C
Now as I lay me down to sleep
Cm           G            D     B7         Em
I expect no dreams, and no sweet goodbye to me
Em                 G            Am7         G     D      B7
Flatline in the morning light. I held on so tight for so long
              Em            Emaj7       Emaj       A7
It’s just not right, let a sigh out as I close my eyes.
Am                 D7
Was that all there was to this?
D             B7
What’s for the best?

Chorus:
Em                      G
Is there cheese in the great beyond?
Am7                   G            D    B7       Em
What’s the moon made of? Meet me there after I’m gone
Em                 G7              C
Life gets shorter, teeth grow long
Cm                G          D        B7
Mind me not and I’ll mind my own, and my mind’s
Em            Emaj7        Emaj        A7
Held the same light as the one in your eyes.

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

Nature I guess
