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