Chords with lyrics
Capo 4.
[Verse 1]
E minorEm
Both our families after gathering
We're cutting a baby out
With my grandmother's heirloom antler-handled carving knife
They were under her grand chandelier
A minorAm
Where we all, together, have shared holiday dinner
E minorEm
But it was your father that was holding the knife
DmDm
Yeah, I begged you not to make me tell ya
A minorAm E minorEm
Yeah, I pleaded with you to, to leave it alone
[Chorus]
E minorEm
I told ya
I told you that you didn't want to know
What went on in my horrible dream
[Verse 2]
A minorAm
I was peering in through the picture window
It was a heart-warming tableau
E minorEm
Like a Norman Rockwell painting
Until I zoomed in
DmDm
I was making noises in my sleep
A minorAm
But you wouldn't believe me when I told ya
E minorEm
That I wasn't with someone in my dream
DmDm A minorAm
Catfish were wriggling in blood and gore in the kitchen sink
[Outro]
E minorEm
Yeah, I told ya
I told ya
I told you
Now sweetie, please promise me
That you won't sing
