marking my house

Mama told me, "Things will leave you

The only thing you can trust

Is what you lived through"

Mama, how 'bout when I die?

B
Gotta go to work
E
To pay for that cat's house
B
For the red-corseted wasp
B
Who lives in the roof
E
For the family of possums
A D
For the bugs who drink my blood
A D
And the birds who eat those bugs
[Pre-Chorus]

So that white cat can
G
kill the birds
E B
What do you hold onto? Hey
