CIn our socks we slide across the floor
Glike we are angels over water
Ccomin home to see your eyes G  
Cand the beards we fake from yarn and tape
Gcan't cover up the smiles we make
Amor the nights we stay up
laughing til we cryC

as Ghappy as two clams
Cand if we fight we'll do it righEmt

lying quiet waiting for the cold and frosty morning

[verse 1]

In our socks we slide across the floor

like we are angels over water

C G

comin home to see your eyes

and the beards we fake from yarn and tape

can't cover up the smiles we make

or the nights we stay up

laughing til we cry

[pre-chorus]

I know inside that we can hide

as happy as two clams

C Em

and if we fight we'll do it right

D D

with mittens on our hands

[chorus]

cause we are spoons

the forks and knives are lonely in their drawer

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

and my reflection in your stare

G C G D D

lets me know that it's just us against the world

[harmonica explosion]

G C G D D

[verse 2]

At a table set for two

I'll make some tea for you

Am C

with spoons that stir like hearts on fire
