 Chords:  x32010
 when the villagers come  to my door,
 I will hide  underneath the table  in the dining  room,
knees  drawn to my chest.
 when the villagers come  to my door,
 I will breathe  shallow breaths from high up  in my stomach
 ah hah  hah hah hah hah hah hah
waiting  for the front door to splinter,
   <---- x4 C
 waiting all winter.
 ?
 when the villagers come  to my door,
 I'll be all  tucked away with my face  to the floor  and my
eyes  closed.
 and no  one knows how to keep secrets  'round here
 they tell everyone  everything, soon  as they know.
 and then where  is there for poor sinners to go?
waiting  for the front door to splinter,
   <---- x4
 waiting all winter.
