My Mom

E
have you ever had a dream
that your favorite baby's drowning
       F                                   C
and you grab him by his sweater sleeve and pull him up on to the ground and
E
you can hear the water slosh around inside his tiny gut
F                              C
push his belly up and down but he can't cough the 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 small breath
C           G            Am
and he goes limp in your arms
Am
all the people's mouths are moving
C
all you hear are car alarms
C            G               Am
and you wake up and start to cry
C              G            Am
I will lose my shit if even one more person I know dies
   C      G     Am
so please don't die

Am                       C
my mom's sick she's in a hospital bed
Am                          C
I've got a word for all you ghosts in her head
Am                       C
and all you skeletons in her closet
G
leave her alone
G
leave her alone
G                C
leave her alone, please
Am             G         C
because my mom needs you gone
Am     G         C
my mom needs you gone
Am                G       C
as long as she is haunted she'll never get strong
Am     G         C
my mom needs you gone
