(Note: on the CD, Adam plays all power chords. The D chord is
actually an A-form bar chord at the 5th fret, an A as E at 5, 
a G as E at 3, etc.)

My friend Chloe asks me if I want to go to the symphony
          G                              A
They are doing a piece by Mahler that is getting rave reviews, I tell her
   D                                   G
"Thanks, but sorry, I have plans. You see, I have this chili I made yesterday
A                                      D
And besides, I was going to watch the news."
C                                             D
Chloe, she just stares at me, "Girl, ya gotta get out more!
          C                               D
Besides, I know you're not telling me everything."
            G                                A
So I say, "Okay, Chlo but I should warn you I am not naive when I
G                                        A
tell you there are parts of this you'll find hard to believe..."

I was sitting in my kitchen eating day-old Hawaiian pizza
         G                                           A
microwaved to perfection with a cup of blackcurrant tea
                  D      
when suddenly I heard a small voice coming from the box on the table
G
It was my pizza!
     A
And this is what it was singing to me:

CHORUS:
(Adam):
   F#m         A
   Oh we oh we are the Leftovers
   B
   Hawaiian pizza, kielbasa sausage
   F#m         A
   Oh we oh we are the Leftovers
   B
   We'll start a revolution in your fridge.
(Luis):
   Oh ho we oh ho we oh
   We are the Leftovers
   Oh ho we oh ho we oh
   We are the Leftovers
(Rand):
   Franco Spaghettios, sour milk and soggy Cheerios, 
   say your prayers you're long gone, 
   better take out won ton.

Chloe gives me a weird look, the kind you give someone who
says she knows Elvis, or spells "entymologist" wrong
"But that's not all," I say, "A few days later,
my lasagne, guacamole, and then even my braised ham joined in on the song!"

CHORUS

"Omigod," says Chloe, "You have got mad cow disease!
I told you not to eat beef!"
"But Chloe," I say, "This is Canada, remember we have no moors.
Besides, hearing food sing could be another step in the evolutionary process."
"Nevermind," says Chlo, "I have the perfect cure."

So my friend Chloe went out the next day, she brought me home a dog
He eats all of my leftovers, I've named him Hoover
My poor house is now in ruin, and though
Hoover's kinda cute in a drooly sort of way
in fact he reminds me of my ex on some days, now I
look into my fridge and y'know, I kinda miss this tune...

CHORUS
