Lyrics

Make it work;

make it eas y.

Make it clev er; craft it in to piec es.

Make it sweet;

crimp the edg es.

Or make it so ur and serve with lem on wedg es.

E ven (G)doubt

can be de li cious,

and it wash es off of all the dirt y dish es.

When it’s (C)done,

I can smile;

it’s on some one el se’s plate for a while.

I’ll

place it (A)on dis play;

and then I’ll

slice and

serve my (D)wor ries a way.

(G)I can fix this; I

can twist it in to (Em)sug ar, but ter cov ered piec es.

Nev er mind (D)what’s un der neath it, I

have done it be fore;

I’ll bake me a (Em)door (D)to (Em)help me get through

(D)I (C)learned that from you.

Ma ma, it’s a (Cm)maz ing what (Cm)bak ing can (G)do.

Make it up,

and sur prise them.

Tell them all my se crets, but dis guise them, so they (C)dance

on the tongues

of the ver y peo ple that they’re se crets from.

Make it (Em)soon;

make it bet ter.

Though (A7)bet ter nev er lasts for ev er.

I’ll make it (C6)small,

so (D7)it fits

e ven this,

e ven (Csus2)now,

e ven as the (D)walls (G)come

(D7)tum (G)bling

(C)down,

e ven as I (D)can’t (G)stop re (D7)mem (G)ber ing (C)how

ev ’ry door we ev er (D)made, (G)we nev er (D7)once walked out,

(Am)some thing I nev er (Gsus)got the chance to (D7)ask her a bout.

So, with flo ur (A7)on my hands,

I’ll show them (Cmaj7)all how

god damn (D)hap py I am.

(Em)Su gar, but ter, flo ur don’t let me (A7)down!

Let’s see the next a maz ing thing bak ing does (G)now.
