Ben Folds – Me And Maurice (Guitar)

C
Christmas Eve

                 C/F
A silver blanket spreads into the night

C
Distant sounds of bells and laughter

C/F
Plastic joy and light

Em7                 Am7
Past floor plan variations

Fmaj7
More or less the same

       C
I walk Maurice

      G
And a full green bag of shame

Fmaj7
Giant inflatable Santa Clauses

Em7       Am7
Smile and wave

      Fmaj7
As we head back through the snow

            G
Through the dark and down the lane

             C
Where me and Maurice

                Fmaj7
We're digging a hole

                Dm7
The yard's on a freeway

                       F    G
We don't know where it goes

              C
Santa Monica, maybe

                      Fmaj7
Or all the way to the North Pole

C
Winter sun is rising

C/F
Blurry and bizarre

C                                    C/F
Last night's air pump Santas are all face up in the yards

Em7        Am7
Frozen and deflated

Fmaj7
Hungover and sad

        C
Do they remember Christmas past

    G
And all the fun we had?

               Fmaj7
You think that life is always gonna be one way

         Em7                  Am7
And in a minute it turns on a dime

              Fmaj7
Now it's just me and Maurice

               G
We're gonna be fine

              C
'Cause me and Maurice

                Fmaj7
We're digging a hole

                Dm7
The yard's on a freeway

                       F    G
We don't know where it goes

              C
Santa Monica, maybe

                      Fmaj7
Or all the way to the North Pole

  Fmaj7
A happy band of carolers

Em7               Am7
Ring the doorbell twice

              Fmaj7
And then they turn and disappear

G
Into the silent night

             C
Where me and Maurice

                Fmaj7
We're digging a hole

                Dm7
The yard's on a freeway

                       F    G
We don't know where it goes

              C
Will anyone wonder?

             Fmaj7
Will anyone know?
