Intro
C G D x2
[Verse]
C G D
Our son is four months old his name is Anthony or Ash for short
C G D
And he's too small to do things by himself
C G D C
We were in LA over Christmas in a rental and we jury-rigged a place
G D
To change his diapers on a shelf
C G D
I was peeing in the bathroom and had left him for a second
C G D
'Cause I thought he couldn't move and he was safe
C G D
As I came out I saw him falling in slow motion to the floor
C G D
It was probably the worst moment of my life
[Instrumental]
C G D x2
C G D
And then I accidentally stole a thing of chapstick from the safeway
C G D
I didn't see it 'til I got out to the car
C G D
I would have usually returned it but I was overwhelmed
C G D
And late to take the baby to my cousins which was far away
C G D
In my defense, I'd bought like 87 dollars worth of groceries
C G D
And the chapstick was a dollar 99
C G
I know it wasn't the right thing to use
D
My newborn child as an excuse
C G D
But it felt like a good reason at the time
C G
And as I pulled out of the parking lot I cried
C G
And as I pulled onto the highway I said right
C G D
At least the baby didn't die
C G D
At least the baby didn't die
C G
And then we went to Sarasota
D
To see Neil's cousin Helen
C G D
For her birthday she just turned ninety-nine
C G
We were also there for Sidney
D
Who was ninety-four two days before
C G D
But he was sick, so mostly it was Ash and Helen time
C G
She survived the War saw ghetto
D
And she always says I love you"
C G D
When she sees you 'cause she knows you never know
C G
She'd worked for months while I was pregnant
D
On a gorgeous handmade blanket
C G D
Her almost-hundred-year-old hands crocheting every row
C G D
I'd been emailing her pictures of the baby and the blanket
C G D
Every day since she had sent it in the mail
C G
But they were of one that someone else had knitted
D
She was really nice about it
C G D
Then I went and shoplifted a pair of ugly sunglasses
C G
From Goodwill (they were on my head
D
I'd tried them on and left them there)
C G
But that's not really bad compared to
D C
When we left the baby in the car
C G D
C G D
At least he wasn't in there very long
C G D
And not directly in the sun
C G D
And thank god no-one walking by happened to notice what we'd done
C G D
I'm even scared to put these lyrics in a song
But
Am C G A C
Everything is relative and everyone's related
Am C
I can't do that much right now
G A C
But take care of this baby
C G D
I figure everything's technically all right
C G D
If at least this baby doesn't die
C G D
And then I took a plane to Washington alone
C G
So we could visit Jason Webley who's his godfather
D
And plays a mean accordion
C G D
I couldn't wait to see him and share tales of our disasters
C G D
Over dinner in his houseboat when I saw I'd lost my passport
C G D
So I got a rush appointment at the place where you replace them
C G D
And I drove the baby in and on the way I got a speeding ticket
C G D C
When the cop came to the window I was shaking and I said "I'm sorry"
G D C
But you couldn't hear me that's how loud the sound of screaming was
G D
Cause he was hungry and I think that I was speeding
C G
Cause I panic when I hear him cry
D
My god what kind of a mother am i
C G D
C G D
And as I pulled out of the breakdown lane I cried
C G D
And as I pulled out on the highway I said right
C G D
At least the baby didn't die
C G D
At least the baby didn't die"
C G D
While I was waiting for my passport I was hungry so
C G
I twittered for a coffee in the neighborhood
D C G
And there I saw a woman who was sitting at the bar
D
And it was noon and she was drinking
C G D
And she called across the diner to me How old is your baby?"
C G
And she smiled at us nursing
D C
And she said she had a daughter who was grown
G
And then she paused
D
And said she also had a son
C G D
And when I'd paid and was about to leave
C G D
I picked him up and crossed the room and touched her sleeve
C G D
I said, Hey, this baby wanted to say hi"
C G D
And she held him tight and she started to cry
C G D
And I'm sorry that this story's gotten long
C G D
And that everybody's crying in this song
C G D
And then I got back in the car I turned the radio and heater on
C G D
And sat there with the baby in the back
C G D
And they were talking about Syria and climate change and ISIS
C G D
And the candidates' positions on Iraq
C G
I feel so useless in this universe
D
I know I could be doing worse
C G D
I'm trying hard to stay at peace inside
C G
I know it's hard to be a parent
D
But this mess is so gigantic
C G D
i wonder if I should have had a child
C G D
And as I pulled out of the parking lot I cried
C G
And as I pulled out on the highway I said
D
right
C G D
At least the baby didn't die
C G D
At least the baby didn't die
EVERYBODY:
C G D
At least the baby didn't die!!
C G D
At least the baby didn't die!!
C G D
(i may not make it to the passport place on time!)
(At least the baby didn't die)
C G D
(and they might revoke my license for a while!!)
(At least the baby didn't die)
C G D
(and I might get caught for retroactive theft!!)
(At least the baby didn't die)
C G D
(and I might get turned into the DSS!)
C G D
But at least the baby didn't die"
