[Cmaj9] [Bbmaj7/C]
Jagged jigsaw pieces
[Cmaj9] [Bbmaj7/C]
Tossed about the room
[Cmaj9] [Bbmaj7/C]
I saw my grandma sweeping
[Cmaj9] [Bbmaj7/C] [Bbmaj7/E]
With her old straw broom
[Fmaj9] [Fmaj9] [Emaj9] [Ebmaj9]
She didn't know what she was doing
[Fmaj9] [Bm7/A] [A] [Bb] [B]
She could hardly understand
[Cmaj9] [Bbmaj7/C]
That she was really sweeping up..

[Cmaj9] [Bbmaj7/C]
Pieces of that letter
[Cmaj9] [Bbmaj7/C]
Were tossed about that room

Come knifing through the gloom
