Chords

[Verse 1]
F#                  B
Where do we put our precious things

     F#               C#
Like woolen socks and wedding rings

    F#              B
And seance gear and kimchi jars

    F#               C#
Our Matchbox and our Hot Wheels cars
[Verse 2]
F#                     B
Where can we hide when bombs will fly

   F#                      C#
To save ourselves when all others die

   F#                           B
To toast with a shot here's cum in your eye

     F#
I've got an idea, listen here
[Chorus]
          F#                      F
There's a hole in the yard, about ten by ten

     G#m7                C#
Just large enough to put all those things in

  F#                      F
A dark place to be if and when the bombs hit

       G#m         C#
At the back of the pit
G#m C# [Verse 3]
F#                          B
I woke up today with almost too much love

F#                                   C#
Didn't sleep much last night, joyous vibes from above

         F#                              B
Couldn't keep it all in, thought I would burst at the seams

     F#                               C#
What fills waking life is wilder than dreams
[Verse 4]
F#                  B
Every day and every evening too

  F#                        C#
I count all the reasons I'm in love with you

     F#                              B
Look around at everything that we've bought, got, and stole

   F#                 C#       F#
To bring with us down into the hole
[Chorus]
          F#                      F
There's a hole in the yard, about ten by ten

     G#m7                                C#
Just large enough to put all those items in

  F#                      F
A dark place to be if and when the bombs hit

       G#m         C#
At the back of the pit

       G#m7        C#
At the back of the pit
[Verse 5]
F#                                  B
When we hear the frogs again, we'll consent to raise our heads

    F#                          C#
And it won't matter then if the rest of the world is dead

     F#                             B
Yes, between you and me we've got a repopulation kit

    F#                             C#          F#
The world will rise again from the back of the pit
[Outro] F# B F# C# F# B F# C# F#
