[Intro] F

F                    Bb           F
Where do snails go during the day?
Dm                                  Bb    F
They're probably somewhere playing video games
Bb                            F
I'm sad they feel the need to go away
Bb    F
Go away

F                              Bb    F
Where's the chapel where the mantis pray?
     Dm                     Bb    F
The leaves grow green then fall away
  Bb         F            Bb    F      Bb      F
In reddish shades that crumple under six long legs
C            F           Bb    C       Dm
Leading me along, the children sing a song
         Bb       C    F
And I'd like to turn around
        Bb      C         F       Bb    F
But I know I'm not that strong

 Bb            F
I'm missing a house
       C               F     A7
That I've never called home
Dm              F         Bb         F     A7
I'm missing a time that I've never known
Dm            F                 C          F     A7
I remember a tree, had a whole leaf of my own
     Dm                  F
But now we're reaching spring
                Bb            F
Was it just a dream? I don't know

Bb        F
 I don't know
Bb      F    A7
What do I know?
Dm        F
What do I know?
Bb        F  A7 Bb    Gb7M
What do I know?

     F                    Bb      F
They warn of snakes in search of prey
      F               Bb   F
The stories scare me so I stay
F                         Bb    F
At the chapel where the mantis pray
      Bb   F
And every day
 C            F
They lead me along
      Bb      C     Dm
The children hum a hymn
       Bb       C    F
And I'd like to run away
         Bb         C    F   Bb   F
But to leave would be a sin

Bb             F
I'm missing a house
       C                F    A7
That I've never called home
Dm             F           Bb       F    A7
I'm missing a time that I've never known
Dm             F            C
I remember a song, I sung along
                F   A7
But how did it go?
     Dm                F
Well, now I'm reaching spring
                 Bb
Probably just a dream
            F  A7
I should let go

Dm                     F
Six legs, tippy tappy toes
                  C           F   A7
Climbing to the podium on Sunday
Dm                      F
I was a tadpole at the time
                    Bb
So I don't remember much
                      F  A7
About what he had to say

 Dm                  F
Faces, beady little eyes
               C
Larva always cries
                  F  A7
Beetle does the same

Dm                F
Now it remains a dream
           Bb                    F     A7
A distant memory that itches my brain

Dm                     F
Six legs, tippy tappy toes
                 C          F   A7
Climbing to the podium on Sunday
 Dm                                    F
I was a bunny (I was a kitten) at the time
                     Bb
So I don't remember much
                      F  A7
About what he had to say

  Dm                  F
Faces, beady little eyes
               C
Larva always cries
                  F  A7
Beetle does the same
 Dm                F
Now it remains a dream
            Bb                    F
A distant memory that itches my brain

  Dm                F
Now it remains a dream
             Bb                    F
A distant memory that itches my brain

  Dm                F
Now it remains a dream

Bb                    F
A distant memory that itches my brain
