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