C                                      Am  
I'd like to sneak around the house When everyone's asleep 
C9                              F        Em 
Tiptoe across the door mat that used to welcome me 
C                                  Am 
Then gently shut the door to see a brand-new Christmas tree 
        C9                                      F                 Em , (hold) 
And the silence pounds like a kettle drum and a chill runs through me 
 
Chorus:  
                  C                         Am 
But does she ever miss me? I still hear her singing  
             C9                     F         Em 
Just like an orchestra, just like a painting 
            C                   Am 
With velvet brushes and wooden framing 
   C9                           F          Em 
A 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
