Intro


Verse 1

Little one you wanted a sound
You wanted to hold onto another
Soon, before you can tell
You will be swallowed up into
Cause I am aware we’ve been waiting here
Where we’ve been for years

Verse 2

You will wander around
Alone in the house we both abandoned
To measure our hopes with our hearts
Hearts with our hands we’ve taught them language
Yeah, we’ve been waiting here
Where we’ve been for years

Chorus

I know you’ll be back again
But I am alone till then
No one can understand
I’ve done a foolish thing
And carry a need to remind you of the
Terrible state I’m in, till you come home

Verse 3 (no chords played)

Little one you wanted a sound
You wanted to hold onto another
Soon, before you can tell
You will be singing out loud and you’ll reach for the wall

Chorus

And I know you’ll be back again
But I am alone till then
No one can understand, I’ve done a foolish thing
And carry a need to remind you of the
Terrible state I’m in, till you come home
Till you come home

Basia Bulat – Snakes and Ladders

These mirrors you’ve broken are your cry for art
Salt and pepper shakers over your shoulders
Cross your heart
Don’t you know it’s bad luck
To stay in one place for too long?
You’ve been listening to the voices in your head
Helpless when they go

So we play a game of snakes and ladders
Gambled our mistakes
Didn’t know what could come after
Threw away the cards
Who thinks it could matter?
Oh, who believes in fate, anyway?

When only you could be the one
To win out over me
When it isn’t just a game
It’s the way we come undone
What a perfect accident
Oh, we danced around them all
Like we didn’t even notice
ah oh oh oh ohh I love the way we come undone

Thought I saw something hidin’ in the yard
But it was bad weather to keep a watch out in the dark
You know, all this time I’ve been playing for your heart
But I never let it on
I’ll have to watch you play the part

So we play a game of snakes and ladders
Gambled our mistakes
Didn’t know what could come after
Threw away the cards
Who thinks it could matter?
Oh, who believes in fate, anyway?

When only you could be the one
To win out over me
When it isn’t just a game
It’s the way we come undone
What a perfect accident
Oh, we danced around them all
Like we didn’t even notice
ah oh oh oh ohh I love the way we come undone

There are two things I will carry in my pockets at the end
oh, my darling,
you are one of them
the way you look when you have a story to begin,
oh, my darling,
that’s the other half

and I will never lose them,
no i’ll never never show them like a prize

I will keep them out of sight
and I will never give them up to any silly
promise or a lie,
C G (strumming changes-listen to song)
they are mine until I die, until I die

Outro: G Em C
