Have you ever had a dream that your favorite baby's drowning [Am] and you grab him by his sweater sleeve,
pull him up [E] onto the ground and you can hear the water slosh around inside his tiny [Am] gut.
Push his belly up and down but he can't cough the [E] water up.
Suddenly a flood comes out his mouth
till there is nothing left inside of him.
He's empty now, there isn't even one [F] small breath and he
[G] goes [C] limp in your arms.
_ [G] All the people's mouths are moving, all you [F] hear are car alarms and you
[G] wake up and start [C] to cry.
_ [F] I [G] will lose my shit if even one [F] more person I know dies so [G] please [C] don't die.
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] My mom's [C] sick, she's in a hospital bed.
_ [F] I've got work [C] for all you ghosts in her head
[Am] and all you skeletons in her closet.
_ [F] Leave her alone, [C] leave her alone, [F] leave her alone,
please _ because my [G] mom needs [C] you gone.
_ _ [F] My mom [C] needs you gone.
As long [G] as she is [C] haunted,
she'll [A] never get [Am] strong.
My mom [C] needs you gone. _ _ _ _ _
[G] You traded all your paper [C] clips for a soap dish
that way [G] your best friend's rubber ducky [F] wouldn't slip [C] and slide away [G] but he traded his rubber [E] duck
for a cigar [C] box to place [G] your paper clips in.
Mr.
Hooper came to say, oh [F] my dear [C] friends Bird and Ernie,
here's a little something for each of you from me.
Here [F] are your paper clips and [C] here's your rubber
ducky.
[G] How could I ignore such selfless generosity?
_ _ [F] The human body's made [C] up of good and bad bacteria
[E] but the antibiotics and the [C] antibacterials are killing all the good ones [F] and the bad ones just
get [C] stronger and become super infections.
[E] It's harder to destroy [C] them and it's harder to detect
them and there's [F] something [C] in her blood and [F] there's something [C] in her leg and [F] there's something [G] in her brain.
[C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] My mom's sick, [C] she's in a hospital bed.
_ I've got a word for all you ghosts in her head
and all you skeletons in her closet.
_ Leave her alone, leave her alone, leave her alone, _ leave her alone,
_ leave her alone, leave her alone, leave her [F] alone, please.
_ Because my [G] mom [C] needs you gone,
_ [F] my [C] mom needs you gone.
_ As long [G] as she is [C] haunted she'll [Am] never get [C] strong.
My [B] mom [C] needs you gone,
_ _ [F] my [G] mom needs [C] you gone, [G] _ my mom needs [C] you gone, _ [F] my [G] mom needs [C] you gone. _ _ _ _
