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


you traded all your paper clips for a soap dish that way
your best friend's rubber ducky wouldn't slip and slide away
but he traded his rubber duck for a cigar box to place your paper clips in
Mr. Hooper came to say
'oh my dear friends Bert and Ernie
here's a little something for each of you from me
here are your paper clips and here's your rubber ducky
how could I ignore such selfless generosity?'

the human body's made up of good and bad bacteria
but the antibiotics and the antibacterials are killing all the good ones
and the bad ones just get stronger and become super infections
it's harder to destroy them and it's harder to detect them
and there's something in her blood
and there's something in her leg
and there's something in her brain

my mom's sick 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 alone, please
because my mom needs you gone
my mom needs you gone
as long as she is haunted she'll never get strong
my mom needs you gone
my mom needs you gone
my mom needs you gone
my mom needs you gone
