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