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