My Mom ? Chocolate Genius


D, Dbm, Bm, A   x4
                
         D         Dbm         Bm                A
They got five televisions in a house built for three
        D              Dbm 
Look upon that fake fireplace, 
             Bm                 A
you know the bucktoothed boy is me
         D            Dbm                Bm           A
See that wood paneled room? That's where I learned to drink
             D           Dbm            Bm          A     A 
You see that hole in the wall? That was seagrams I think


A x2


         D           Dbm
And that tree was a goal post,
          Bm            A
that bathroom it was a shroud
       D              Dbm       
That closet it was a phone booth, 
         Bm              A
and that mirror it was a crowd
         D             Dbm         
See that guy with the bad knees 
        Bm            A
and his heart on his sleeve?
          D            Dbm
Watch him slip me ten dollars 
         Bm             A       A
when it comes time to leave...


A x2

F#m x 4


           F#m  F#m                Bm     Bm
It's been five years and some change
          F#m      F#m          Bm        Bm
and this world is gettin' so strange
         F#m      F#m             Bm      Bm
but this house smells just the same
        D        D          D           D
And my mom, 
         D       D              D               
My sweet mom, 
            D          D        Dbm     Bm     A
She don't remember my name

   D         Dbm          Bm
My mom
              A        D       Dbm      Bm        A
She can't remember my name,
        D        Dbm        Bm        A
Not my mom


    D        Dbm                 Bm                A
I sit on her bed, and I kiss her right behind the ear
          D         Dbm             Bm          A
she calls out for a dog that's been dead for a year
       D           Dbm             Bm        A
I say "How is it going?" just like I didn't know
    D                    Dbm         Bm               A
I hold on to both of her hands too afraid to let her go
      D         Dbm        Bm           A
And five times exactly, no more and no less,
           D                   Dbm      
she says "How you been eatin', boy?" 
           Bm       A
and I say "Ok, I guess"
        D              Dbm           Bm            A
In this room where she made me, each day she grows weak
          D             Dbm 
She flips on the Golden Girls 
               Bm             A     A
and the first tear hits my cheek


A x6


           F#m  F#m                Bm     Bm
It's been five years and some change
          F#m      F#m          Bm        Bm
and this world is gettin' so strange
         F#m      F#m              Bm     Bm
but this house smells just the same
        D        D          D           D
And my mom, 
         D        D              D              
My sweet mom, 
            D          D        Dbm     Bm     A
She don't remember my name

   D       Dbm       Bm
My mom
        A          D     Dbm      Bm      A
Can't remember my name,
          D      Dbm       Bm           
She's my mom now 
              A         D       Dbm         Bm        A
she can't remember my name
    D     Dbm    Bm          A         D    Dbm     Bm   A
My mom                  can't remember my name
    D     Dbm    Bm       A
My mom
