Chords for My Mom

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Have you ever had a dream that your favorite baby's [Am] drowning 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 [A] gut.
He pushes his belly up and down but he can't cough the water [E] up.
Suddenly a flood comes out his mouth till there is nothing [Am] left inside of him.
He's empty now.
There isn't even one small [F] breath and he [G] goes limp [C] in your arms.
_ [G] All the people's mouths are moving.
All [F] you hear are car alarms and you wake up [C] and start to cry. _

_ _ _ [Am] My mom's sick, [C] she's in a hospital bed.
[F] I've gotta [C] work for all you ghosts in her head [Am] and all you [C] skeletons in her closet.
_ [F] Leave her [C] alone, leave her alone, [F] leave her alone, please.

_ [F] My mom [C] needs you gone.
[Am] As long as [G] she is [C] haunted [A] she'll never get strong.
My mom needs you gone.
_ _ _ _ [G] You traded all your paper [C] clips for a soap dish that way.
[G] Your best friend's rubber duckie [F] wouldn't slip and [C] slide away.
[G] But he traded his rubber duck [F] for a cigar box [C] to place [G] your paper clips in.
Mr.
Hooper came to say, _
Oh [F] my dear [C] friends Bird and Ernie,
Here's a [F] little something [C] for each of you from me.
Here are [F] your paper clips [C] and here's your rubber duckie.
[G] How could I ignore such selfless generosity?
_ _ [A] The human body's [C] made 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 stronger [C] and become super infections.
[E] It's harder to destroy them [C] 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 there's [F] something [G] in her [C] brain.
