[verse 1]
C
In our socks we slide across the floor
G
like we are angels over water
C                           G
comin home to see your eyes 
C
and the beards we fake from yarn and tape
G
can't cover up the smiles we make
Am
or the nights we stay up
                   C
laughing til we cry

[pre-chorus]
C
I know inside that we can hide
   G
as happy as two clams
C                               Em
and if we fight we'll do it right
            D*     D
with mittens on our hands

[chorus]
                  C
cause we are spoons
                                         G
the forks and knives are lonely in their drawer
                             Am   
underneath the covers we are warm
                            G        C   G  D*       D
lying quiet waiting for the cold and frosty morning
               C                               G
and in my room i can see the sunlight in your hair
                            Am
and my reflection in your stare
                            G   C      G   D*     D
lets me know that it's just us against the world

[verse 2]
C
At a table set for two
G
I'll make some tea for you
Am                                   C
with spoons that stir like hearts on fire
