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