[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]
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
[Chorus]
Em G
Is there cheese in the great beyond?
Cm/A 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 Emmaj7 Em7 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
One hungry day is nothing, come what may
[Verse 4]
Em A
But then winter came inside for three nights
D7 F#
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?
Cm/A 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 Emmaj7 Em7 A7
Not one bite smaller or lesser than yours
Am D7
Do I belong in “right and wrong?”
G
Nature, I guess.

[Bridge A]
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 D7
More than I could eat, my dreams were finally reality
B7 Em E N.C
My struggles had a happy ending, they 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.
[Bridge B]
Em G
And so I stumble back to bed
Cm/A 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 G7
Flatline in the morning light.
C Cm G D
I held on so tight for so long
B7 Em Emmaj7 Em7 A7
It’s just not right, let a sigh out as I close my eyes.
Am D7
Was that all there was to this?
B7 Em
What’s for the best?
[Chorus]
Em G
Is there cheese in the great beyond?
Cm/A 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
Em Emmaj7 Em7 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
Goodbye. So long.
D7
To mice in holes.
Nature I guess
