CAm
I'd like to sneak around the house When everyone's asleep
C9FEm
Tiptoe across the door mat that used to welcome me
CAm
Then gently shut the door to see a brand-new Christmas tree
C9FEm , (hold)
And the silence pounds like a kettle drum and a chill runs through me
Chorus:
CAm
But does she ever miss me? I still hear her singing
C9FEm
Just like an orchestra, just like a painting
CAm
With velvet brushes and wooden framing
C9FEmA familiar Monet that's worth renaming The scar
I choked up the dirt, completely hurt I ran straight through them all
Then pushed aside what's left of pride And trembled through the hall
And there stands a door you'd seen before When all you knew you was down
And your perfume breath brought peaceful death On sleepy silver gowns
Chorus :
Yeah, to wake is such a dreaded thing To sleep is such a hole
I eat without your company I drink till I unfold
And now hear the end of everything Just thrown onto the ground
But October fell and broke my shell And all I knew was down
Maya-ya-da Maya-ya-da May-ya-da, oo
Ya da die, may ya die May ya die, oo
Ya da da, oh-oh
Ya da da, ya da die, oh
