These are the chords for Tomcat Disposables by Will Wood on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

[Intro]
G A7 A7

[Verse 1]
D                   Am
I have mapped the cupboards
and drawers
D7                       Edim7
Tracked the least-walked spots
on the floor
Bm          E
Happy to be home, safe and warm
F                      B7
As shadows by their feet,
the odd vanishing treat
B7
Quietly eating while they sleep

[Verse 2]
Gmaj7                    A
So here’s where I’ll be raising
my kids
D7                F#
If I can find someone
to start a family with
Bm                   E
Till then I dream of the
day my odds and ends fit
F                         B7
I’ll wake up, there’ll be food
on the stove forever
B7
And never want for more

[Chorus]
Em                     G
Is there cheese in the great beyond?
Am7                 G       D
Rinds of parmesan, wine to water,
 B7       Em
night from dawn
Em                 G7             C
Life gets shorter, teeth grow long
Cm                G          D
Mind me not and I’ll mind my own,
    B7
and my mind’s
Em           Emaj7
Not one bite smaller
   Emaj        A7
or lesser than yours
   Am          D7
Do I belong in “right and wrong?”
          G
Nature, I guess.
G A7 A7

[Verse 3]
D                   Am
One night one flung light
through this place
D7                        Edim7
So I run for cover, over under,
left the rind out on the plate
Bm                      E
Little heart racing and praying
“something keep me safe,
F                        B7
I think it saw my face, okay,
B7
One hungry day is nothing,
come what may.”

[Verse 4]
Gmaj7                 A
But then winter came inside
for three nights
        D7
Left me grinding my teeth between
   F#
my walls and gripping my dreams tight
Bm                E
Curled up kept my head up
and put up the fight
F                       B7
I’ll make it through again.
I have before.
Come on now, what’s one more?

[Chorus]
Em                     G
Is there cheese in the great beyond?
Am7                 G
Rinds of parmesan, wine
    D      B7       Em
to water, night from dawn
Em                 G7             C
Life gets shorter, teeth grow long
Cm                G
Mind me not and I’ll
        D        B7
mind my own, and my mind’s
Em           Emaj7
Not one bite smaller
   Emaj        A7
or lesser than yours
   Am          D7
Do I belong in “right and wrong?”
          G A7 A7(one fret down)
Nature, I guess.

[Bridge A]
G
Spring bloomed in the kitchen again
     Edim7
So I crawled out of the wall
and squinting
Bm
Saw hope on the stovetop
          E
just like I’d always imagined it
Em                A7
More than I could eat,
              D          B7
my dreams were finally reality
   F
My struggles had a happy ending,
                     B7 N.C
they must want to be friends!
B7
My stomach starts to turn,
with thirst, why does it hurt?
B7
My just desert is served, dig in.

[Bridge B]
Em               G
And so I stumble back to bed
Am7                   G
Something’s not quite right.
           D       B7     Em
Guess I’ll just go rest my head
Em              G7      C
Now as I lay me down to sleep
Cm           G
I expect no dreams,
      D     B7         Em
and no sweet goodbye to me
Em                 G
Flatline in the morning light.
 Am7         G     D      B7
 held on so tight for so long
              Em            Emaj7
It’s just not right, let a sigh
       Emaj       A7
out as I close my eyes.
Am                 D7
Was that all there was to this?
D             B7
What’s for the best?

[Chorus]
Em                      G
Is there cheese in the great beyond?
Am7                   G
What’s the moon made of?
          D    B7       Em
Meet me there after I’m gone
Em                 G7              C
Life gets shorter, teeth grow long
Cm                G
Mind me not and I’ll
        D        B7
mind my own, and my mind’s
Em            Emaj7
Held the same light
       Emaj        A7
as the one in your eyes.

[Outro]
   Am           D7
Do I belong in “right and wrong?”
    Am              D7
One dies alone? And why? Don’t know.
   Am       D7
Goodbye. So long.
   Am       D7
To mice in homes.
               G A7
Nature, I guess.
               G A7 A7
Nature, I guess.
               G A7 A7
Nature, I guess.
G
