Catnaps – Alphabet Soup chords

   ARemember when I told you to feed your dog
   F#mAlphabet soup if you wanted him to speak he was
   DA husky with one blue eye
   EAnd the other brown like dirt on the ground

   AHe used to terrorize and chase my orange tabby
   F#mUntil we fell off the bed onto the carpet laughing
    DI watched you turn into a whisper
    EAnd I wanted to hear you so I thought I'd come closer

    A     A/G#            F#m         D                EYou told me that when I grow up I'll be just like my mother
     A    A/G#                 F#m          D                   EI think you thought it'd be insulting but why's it so bad to smother
      DEverything (everything)
      EAnd everyone (everyone)
      A           F#m     D EYou love with affection and say things like you mean them

    ARemember when you said that you liked poetry
     F#mYou had a bad habit and it forced you to condense things
     DYou made sure your words never left a trace
      EYou prayed they'd slip through cracks on sidewalks and holes in lace

          AYou were 10 years old when you were in a state spelling bee
         F#mYou misspelled Antarctica and you said it was embarrassing
     DYou knew your parents would never let you live it down
             EYou walked away from the podium tears staining shaky hands

   A   A/G# F#m    D             EI didn't mean to make you the receiver
    A A/G#    F#m            D                 EOf my miseries now you're thinking how can I leave her
