lyrics

Cheese
Alicia Healey, May 2008

Key:Am

V1:
Am | Dm (sus)
I took a week, maybe two
E | Gm
To figure out what to say to you
Am | Dm (sus)
It’s not a lie, but not quite the truth
E | Gm
To figure it out, here’s what we’re gonna do…


Dm (sus) | Dm (sus)
We’re gonna drink ‘till we’re drunk, Eat too much cheese
Am | Am
Talk about it all – at least ‘till you see
Dm (sus) | Dm (sus)
You won’t cry you won’t shout
E | E
By the end of tonight, you’ll beg to get out


CHORUS:
Am | Dm (sus) | Em | Gm
Am | Dm (sus) | Em | Gm
Am


V2:
After all, can’t complain to much
I forgot your brand and your touch
You’ve been slipping away for quite some time
I lost between subpar and sublime

Tipsy, you flirted with your new friend
I didn’t worry much, ‘cause we’d love to the end
But did you think of me, as she rolled on the floor
And my joke we had laughed at, hours before?


CHORUS:


BRIDGE:
E | E | Am | Am
Has our time come and gone
E | E | Am | Am
Did what feel so right, turn wrong
Dm sus | Dm sus | Gm | Gm
Will you miss me when the skies turn black
E | E | Dm sus | Dm sus
Or will you walk out that door, never look back

BREAK: (over CHORUS)


REPEAT V1: (softer with build)
