Verse 1:
F#F#         BB
Where do we put our precious things

Our Matchbox andâ??our Hot Wheels cars

Verse 2:
F#F#           BB
Where can we hide when bombs will fly
  F#F#           C#C#
To save ourselves when all others die
  F#F#              BB
To toast with a shot here's cum in your eye
   F#F#
I've got an idea, listen here


Chorus:
     F#F#           FF
There's a hole in the yard, about ten by ten
   G#m7G#m7        C#C#
Just large enough to put all those things in
 F#F#           FF
A augmentedA dark place to be if and when the bombs hit
    G# minorG#m     C#C#
At the back of the pit

I woke up today with almost too much love

Didn't sleep much last night, joyous vibes from above
     F#F#                      BB
Couldn't keep it all in, thought I would burst at the seams
   F#F#                C#C#
What fills waking life is wilder than dreams

Verse 4:
F#F#         BB
Every day and every evening too
 F#F#            C#C#
I count all the reasons I'm in love with you
   F#F#               BB
Look around at everything that we've bought, got, and stole

To bring with us down into the hole

F#F#                 BB
When we hear the frogs again, we'll consent to raise our heads

And it won't matter then if the rest of the world is dead

Yes, between you and me we've got a repopulation kit
  F#F#               C#C#     F#F#
The world will rise again from the back of the pit
