  E
Have you ever had a dream

that your favorite baby's drowning?
                F
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
push his belly up and down but he can't cough the water up
  E                                                                            F
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


       F             G                 C
and he goes limp in your arms
 F                        G
all the people's mouths are moving 
 C
all you hear are car alarms
        F             G                      C
and you wake up and start to cry
F                     G               C
I will lose my shit if even one more person I know dies
        F        G     C
so please don't die

F                                       C
my mom's sick she's in a hospital bed
F                                         C
I've got a word for all you ghosts in her head
        F                             C
and all you skeletons in her closet
F
leave her alone
C
leave her alone
F                          C
leave her alone, please

              F               G              C
because my mom needs you gone
 F              G              C
my mom needs you gone
      F                      G           C
as long as she is haunted she'll never get strong
 F               G             C
my mom needs you gone

         G                                               C
you traded all your paper clips for a soap dish that way
           G                                                    C
your best friend's rubber ducky wouldn't slip and slide away
            G                                          C                                   G
but he traded his rubber duck for a cigar box to place your paper clips in
                                G7
Mr. Hooper came to say,
  
  F            G                 C
"Oh, my dear friends, Bert and Ernie,
  F                   G                    C
here's a little something for each of you from me
 F                    G                       C
here are your paper clips and here's your rubber ducky
F                                      G                G7
how could I ignore such selfless generosity?"

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


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