        F#
Make it work

        F#
Make it easy

        F#                    F#
Make it clever, craft it into pieces

        Bsus2
Make it sweet

          Bsus2
Crimp the edges

           Bsus2                     Bsus2
Or make it sour and serve with lemon wedges
[Verse]
     F#
Even doubt

         F#
Can be delicious

       F#                    F#
And it washes off of all the dirty dishes

          Bsus2
When it's done

      Bsus2
I can smile

       Bsus2                Bsus2
It's on someone else's plate for a while

D#m             G#sus4   G#
I'll place it on display

           Bsus2                 Bsus2/G# C#sus4 C#
And then I'll slice and serve my worries away
[Chorus]
F
I can fix this

Am                  Dm
I can twist it into sugar, butter covered pieces

C#              Csus4  C
Never mind what's underneath it

F
I have done it before

Am              Dm   C  A          Dm
I'll bake me a door to help me get through

C  A                Bsus2
I learned that from you

           Bsus2       A#m         F#     C#/E#  F#
Mama, it's amazing what baking can do
C#/F# F# C#/F# F# C#/F# F# [Verse]
C#/F#   F#
Make it up

       F#
And surprise them

          F#                    F#
Tell them all my secrets but disguise them

        Bsus2
So they dance on the tongue

       Bsus2/G#                 G#m7
Of the very people that they're secrets from
[Verse]
        D#m
Make it soon

        D#m
Make it better

        G#sus4             G#
Though, better never lasts forever

             F#add4   C#sus4 C#
I'll make it small so it fits . . . .
[Bridge]
     F#5/D#
Even this . . .

     F#5/B
Even now . . .

            F#5/F F#5  F#5/G# F#5/A# F#5/B
Even as the walls come tum----bling  down

          F#5/F F#5  F#5/G# F#5/A# F#5/B
Even as I can't stop remembering how

                   F#5/F F#5     F#5/G# F#5/A# F#5/B
Every door we ever made, we never once walked out  (Ooo Ooo Ooo)

G#m               F#                C#/E#             D#m
Something I never got the chance to ask her about

              G#
So with flour on my hands

              Bsus2/G#
I'll show them all how

        C#sus4    C#
Goddamn happy I am!
