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