[D]
I am hiding in the house,
[F#] someone's coming through the gate
[Gm] When the doorbell sounds like an air raid siren
[D] I am lying [A] in wait,
[D] people used to come around
[F#] They fish-eyed and they'd robber net
[Gm] Anyone who'd come to visit now
[D] is automatically [A] a suspect
I creep [D] up to the window,
[G] me and my buzzing brain
[D] And we watch two Jehovah's Witnesses
[A] retreating down the lane
I'm not [D] coming out yet, it's [G] too cold
Leave [D] me alone till [B] I learn
[G] how [A] to spin a straw into [D] gold
I put on night vision goggles, [Am] work my [F#] way along the wall into the kitchen
[A] As [Gm] soon as the first snow fell this year, [D] my fingers started [A] itching
And [D] I locked up the doors, [F#m] and I sealed up all the windows
[G] And friends came by sometime for a while
I [D] never [A] let them in though, then [D] they stopped
Then they stopped at [G] last, and now it's just [D] us three
These walls and the Church of Jesus Christ [A] are the latter-day saints and me
And I'm not [D] coming out yet, it's too [G] cold
[D] Leave me alone [A] till I [B] learn [G] [A] how to spin a straw into [D] gold
