Intro 1

Verse 1
Em 
You picked your doorways,
picked your battles,
G 
Em 
B 
blocking my way as I ran out
Em 
B 
As I tried to run out,
Em 
you licked your fingers,
G 
you let the petty tension linger
Em 
B 
I couldn't shout, I tried
Em 
B 
But no words came out
Em 
Bm 
Em 
Am 
So  quit yelling at me from the backyard
Em 
I'm in the front of the house
Bm 
Am 
Ain't nobody making a sound
Em 
I'd still be dead as a mouse
I turned a corner
G 
just before the night
Em 
B 
you thrust empty air
Em 
But you didn't care
G 
Crazy to the next room, the smell of wet
Em 
B 
Tinted doom everywhere
I turned around, but you weren't there
You weren't there
Bm 
Am 
So quit yelling at me from the backyard
Em 
I'm in the front of the house
Bm 
Am 
Ain't nobody making a sound
Em 
I should still be dead as a mouse
Bm 
Am 
Oh, quit yelling at me from the backyard
Em 
I'm in the front of the house
Bm 
Am 
Ain't nobody making a sound
Em 
I'll still be dead as a mouse
B

trying to  kill me
So I know you're coming for me
I know you're coming for me
So I know you're coming for me

Quit yellin' at me from the backyard,
Em 
I'm in the front of the house
Bm 
Am 
Ain't nobody makin' a sound
Em 
and I'll still be sad about
the fuss it is about
That is a mouse
