Momma woke up at 3 a.m. with her pillow soaked in sweat
                                                     Em
In her mind an image was burned that she will not forget
                                                      C
She still recounts with worry and fear this vision to everyone
    
She was made to watch in helpless horror 
                        X            X          Gm
as the water filled the lungs of her first born son

Years have past the boy is grown I'm technically a man
                                                        Em
Lately I'm still dragging on doing every little thing I can
                                                             C
I'm waiting to uphold the promise that I'll accomplish great things

But the universe works a little odd for me 
      X          X        X 
and I want it to hear me sing

      Gm                                                  ----|
I'm a handful of cells in an ocean of stars                   |from here on
        C                                                     |is strummed
I'm not even a blip on reality's radar                        |not plucked
      Em
If it isn't enough a miracle I've somehow come so far
         C
Why's it gotta be so hard to get a good job or a car
     Gm
The weight of adulthood holds this dumb kid down
  C
I nod in understanding

   Em      C     Gm
So this is how I drown
