Intro
LA LA MI RE x2
Verse:
LA LA MI RE
A rife sits behind her sleeping ear
LA LA MI RE
Echo on the cold wall, closest neighbour couldn’t hear
LA MI MI RE
We dug a hole in the fall____
A* E D (single strums)
So now it’s a frozen burial
MI RE ( LA LA MI RE ) x2
And she’s gone__, just before the new year
LA LA MI RE
Well i’m gonna build a cross for her spot between the trees
LA LA MI RE
And stick it in firm so it won’t sway in the breeze
A* E D (single strums)
You and i have trouble making up our half-assed minds
LA MI RE
But she’d seen sixteen years__ of our kind
MI RE ( LA LA MI RE ) x2
What’s it like___|, when your memories start to freeze
MI LA RE LA
Oh__and i wonder__
MI LA RE LA
What it is about dogs and thunder__
MI LA MI LA RE
What they hear, coming over the field___
MI LA RE LA
Back hall shelter, warm nights in summer
MI LA RE LA
Shaking the ground that you lie under
MI LA
Well i know you’re not here
MI LA RE ( LA LA MI RE ) x2
But at least you don’t feel it anymore__
RE
And i came to see you, on the day that it happened
A* E D (single strums)
You said “Hey sorry Sar, but i gotta go”
RE
And i was trying to read, some sort of reaction
A* E D (single strums)
Something you just can’t show
RE
So i guess it’s time i go
LA LA MI RE
Across the snowy barnyard, just pas the driving shed
LA LA MI RE
Shadow of me in the moon, well i was in the movie in my head
LA MI RE
This pile of dirt on the ground
A* E D (single strums)
Will sink when nobody’s around
MI RE LA LA MI RE
Winter covers everything, but everything’s not dead
MI LA RE LA
Oh__and i wonder__
MI LA RE LA
What it is about dogs and thunder__
MI LA MI LA RE
What they hear, coming over the field___
MI LA RE LA
Back hall shelter, warm nights in summer
MI LA RE LA
Shaking the ground that you lie under
E A* (play this last part 3 times)
Well i know you’re not here
MI LA RE
But at least you don’t feel it anymore__
