          C majorC
The X has moved out.
       E minorEm
Out of this house
            FF
(in)to the outside around it.
             D5D5
I watched her feet pound it.
         C majorC
It didn't work out.

C majorC
First there's a click,
          E minorEm
then there's a breeze
              FF
somewhere outside in the trees,
             D5D5
and the bathroom just sits
                     C majorC
with the memories of a million shits.


E minorEm   FF     D5D5


           C majorC
There's a world in a wall
          E minorEm
that's dark and it's small.
             FF
Here gathers the mighty dust ball
             D5D5
on a pink fiberglass bed

           C majorC
for the screwdriver left there.
           E minorEm
The mite and the spider.
           FF
The multi legged wonder
             D5D5
that last week had scared her
                         C majorC
and broke our silence with laughter.

E minorEm   FF      D5D5


     C majorC
She's like a mouse,
        E minorEm
I know she's around.
         FF
It's a gnawing sound.
            D5D5
Leaves little brown poohs
          C majorC
from a little pink bum.
        E minorEm
Inside the closet.
       FF
Around the files.
       D5D5
Behind the crates.
                 C majorC
She's barely adolescent.
       E minorEm
Up on the counter -
         FF
that's where I caught her -
          D5D5
little pink tongue
     C majorC
licking the butter.
            C majorC
There's a world in a wall.
         E minorEm
The mighty dust ball.
           FF
The mouse and the spider
          D5D5
pause by each other
        C majorC
and move on.
