Linoleum

Am
    Uh Ah

Am                        C
   She keeps the world at bay
                          Dsus2
With walls built to stand come-what-may
                       D#                           Am
And with that coldness on display they held until today
                   C
She would hold her own
            Dsus2
Running all alone
                    D#                          Am
Ridding her road of every grain to stay in control

Am        C                    Dsus2
   Suddenly she is down on all four
        D#                          Am
And the walls will support her no more
          C                     Dsus2
Cries her eyes out like never before
             D#
Onto this linoleum
                    Am
The bottled up and stored

Am                C
  She's won every war
                        Dsus2
And when she's out that door
               D#                           Am
She will push ahead of you, frowning at the poor
                  C
She would move so fast
              Dsus2
Not to end up last
               D#                                  Am
Aiming for the finish line to smile at those she'd passed

Am        C                    Dsus2
   Suddenly she is down on all four
        D#                          Am
And the walls will support her no more
          C                     Dsus2
Cries her eyes out like never before
             D#
Onto this linoleum
                    Am
The bottled up and stored

    Am       G   Am               G
And sometimes, oh just sometimes
                     Am         G
That's really all it takes
                   Am       G        Am
A hand on her shoulder, and then she breaks
    Am                         Em
Sometimes that's really all it takes
                           B
A word of kindness and she breaks
                           Bb                            Am
And then the sum of damage done spills out on stale linoleum
                               Em
Sometimes that's really all it takes
                            B
A gentle touch and then she breaks
                         Bb                    Am
To see the sum of damage done stain this linoleum
                               Em
Sometimes that's really all it takes
                             B
A word or touch and then we break
                           Bb                              Am
And all this world's linoleum can't hold the sum of damage done

Am        C                     Dsus2
  She's becoming her last casualty
       D#                              Am
If she breaks then at last she'll be free
        C                      Dsus2
But she keeps it together once more
           D#                         Am
And runs another day to fight another war

Am              C                      Dsus2
 Itsy bitsy spider, climbed the water spout
                       D#                Am
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
                     C                       Dsus2
Now she stays on the ground, so she'll never fall
                      D#                   Am
See, she would rather drown than lose control
Am
She really would
