Chords with lyrics
G+G C majorC
I'm giving up on certain things like bicycles and gardening
D MajorD G+G
And walking to the grocery store
G+G C majorC
Because the rain has started in the city and though the greenery is pretty
D MajorD G+G
It's not enough to get me out the door
G+G C majorC
'Tis the season now of grey and brown, of giving up and sitting down
D MajorD G+G
And layering and wooly socks
G+G C majorC
I'm celebrating solitude and eating soup instead of food
D MajorD G+G
And never walking more than seven blocks
D MajorD C majorC G+G
'Cause I've got cats, and I've got Netflix
D MajorD C majorC G+G
I've got games, and I've got snack mix
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
And I am gonna stay indoors for four or five months or more
G+G C majorC
I'll have several five-blanket nights, forget to buy my Christmas flights
D MajorD G+G
And procrastinate Halloween
G+G C majorC
As a consolation prize for heavy clouds that fill the skies
D MajorD G+G
There's pumpkin spice in everything
G+G C majorC
Every morning it gets darker out, I'm gonna wear these markers out
D MajorD G+G
With all these lists of things I'll never do
G+G C majorC
And when my motivation's gone, I'll order snacks from Amazon
D MajorD G+G
And try to knit a scarf for you
D MajorD C majorC G+G
'Cause I've got cats, and I've got Netflix
D MajorD C majorC G+G
I've got games, and I've got snack mix
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
And I am gonna stay indoors for four or five months or more
[cat keyboard solo, the notes of which are as follows:

jump up an octave G+G G MajorG D MajorD D G+G E MajorE C majorC C E MajorE D MajorD D G+G A augmentedA G+G
(except for the octave jump, go with the relevant note closest to that just played)]
D MajorD C majorC G+G
I've got plans, I'm gonna make things
D MajorD C majorC G+G
If I get hungry, I might even bake things
C majorC G+G
They say fall is only passing through
D MajorD
But I don't really want it to
D MajorD C majorC G+G
'Cause we've got cats, and we've got Netflix
D MajorD C majorC G+G
We've got games, and we've got snack mix
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
And we are gonna stay indoors for four or five months or more
NOTE: The above is the Weekly Song Wednesday version of 2013. For the Dimetrodon version of 2014,
make the following changes:
1) In the first verse, "the city" becomes "my city".
2) In the third verse, add "and" before "as a consolation prize".
3) The entire final verse, starting with "I've got plans," is omitted; the cat keyboard solo goes straight
into the final chorus.
