A Bedtime Story Chords

[Intro]
           C                          G
You're the best at telling stories to help me fall asleep
       D                           Em
You do all the silly voices, conversate in make-believe
         C                             G
And I am wide awake I might've drank a bit too much caffeine
        D                       C       D     G
Can you tell a bedtime story to help me fall asleep?
 
[Verse]
 
G
Okay so two bickering bears are bumbling through the woods
                         C
When they stumble upon a tent
                                C
And they can tell there are two humans inside because
                            G
It has a "two human inside" scent
                                       G
Now these bears are cold and hungry as food prices have jumped across the hibernation
                C
But they have a philosophical difference on
                     C
How to approach this tent’s situation
 
[Bridge]
 
G
Big Bear says: "Let's ambush them, come crashing
                            C
Through their flimsy little roof"
                                  C
(Big Bear Hungry. Big Bear Beefy. Big Bear See Food and Want Food)
G                                                               C
Small Bear says "Why do you tackle every problem like a grizzly brute?"
                                     C
(Small Bear Angry. Small Bear Tired. Small Bear 'bout to disapprove)
 
[Chorus]
              D                          Em
Because while yes, I see the merits of attacking by surprise
           D                                    Em
We'd get a meal but I can't bear to crush their valuable supplies
G              C               D               Em
Imagine waking up each day and catching the sunrise
          C             D                G
From this tent after we eat the chumps inside
 
[Verse]
 
G
But Big Bear isn't buying it, ‘cause they don't
                                C
Have the dexterity to unzip the zipper
                                           C
And if they wait for the humans to come outside
                                                      G
They might be armed, alarmed, and ready to shoot them quicker
                              G
Than the bears can react, and then they'll go from
                 G
Two rugged bears looking for a good home in the woods
   C
To looking like two bear rugs on the wood floor of a home goods
 
[Bridge]
 
G
Small Bear says "I hear you but insist The benefits outweigh the risk"
C
(Small Bear still respects that Big Bear gets a say in all of this)
G
Big Bear thinks about it, then a wicked grin erupts across his lips
C
(Big Bear's grateful for a partner that communicates like this)
 
[Chorus]
           D                                  Em
He says “I think there's a solution that will satisfy your needs
  D                                   Em
A compromise that will surprise these hairless little beasts
    G             C                     D                Em
And if we do this right we'll leave the tent looking pristine
              C                  D          G
We’ll get our bed and breakfast... bearbnb”
 
[Verse]
 
G
So Big Bear says "The local gopher owes me a favor
                            C
From every day when I don't EAT HIM
                 C
So he can either reach in or dig his little feet in To dig up underneath them and sneak in
G
And he can unzip the screen then we can both creep in While they are deep asleep
C
Ah, come on let's gopher it, I'm sick and tired of schemin'!
 
[Chorus]
        D                             Em
So they overcame their bickering with simple compromise
        D                                  Em
And the bears began their buffet with some gopher on the side
               G             C             D                 Em
And they lived happily ever after in their tent, sat side by side...
         C                D                 G
Then you kissed me on the head and said goodnight
               C                D                 G
Yeah, then you kissed me on the head and said goodnight
 
[Outro]
             C                          G
You were the best at telling stories to help me fall asleep
        D                             Em
You did all the silly voices, made me honestly believe
            C             G             D                   Em
and now I'm wide awake, mistaking every breaking branch and leaf
    G               D                  C        D        G
The next time we go camping I'll just stick to counting sheep
