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