My Mom Chords & Lyrics - Kimya Dawson

Ha[E]ve you ever had a dream

that your favorite baby's drowning'
and you grab him[F] by his sweater sleeve and pull him up on to the ground and
y[E]ou can hear the water slosh around inside his tiny gut
pu[F]sh his belly up and down but he can't cough the water up
su[E]ddenly a flood comes out his mouth till there is nothing left inside of him, [F]

he's empty now

there isn't even one small breath

and he [F]goes limp in y[G]our arms [C]
a[F]ll the people's mouths ar[G]e moving
a[C]ll you hear are car alarms
and you [F]wake up and st[G]art to cry [C]
[F]I will lose my shit if[G] even one more p[C]erson I know dies
so pleas[F]e don't d[G]ie [C]

[F]my mom's sick she's in a hospital bed [C]
[F]I've got a word for all you ghosts in her [C]head
and all [F]you skeletons in her closet [C]
[F]leave her alone
[C]leave her alone
[F]leave her alone, please [C]

because my mom[F] needs you gone [G] [C]
m[F]y mom needs you[G] gone [C]
as lon[F]g as she is haunted she[G]'ll never ge[C]t strong
m[F]y mom needs you [G]gone [C]

you trade[G]d all your paper clips for a soap dish that way [C]
your best f[G]riend's rubber ducky wouldn't slip and slide away [C]
but he trade[G]d his rubber duck for a cigar box to place [C]your paper clips in [G]
Mr. Hooper came to say, [G7]

&q[F]uot;Oh, my de[G]ar friends, Bert a[C]nd Ernie,
he[F]re's a little someth[G]ing for each of you f[C]rom me
h[F]ere are your paper cl[G]ips and here's your rubb[C]er ducky
[F]how could I ignore such selfless genero[G]sity'" [G7]

the huma[F]n body's made up of good and bad bacteri[C]a
but the antibio[F]tics and the antibacterials are killing all the good one[C]s
and the bad on[F]es just get stronger and become super infections [C]
it's har[F]der to destroy them and it's harder to detect th[C]em
and there's somethin[F]g in her blood [C]
and there's somethin[F]g in her leg [C]
and there's somethin[F]g in her brain [C] [G]

[F]my mom's sick she's in a hospital bed [C]
[F]I've got a word for all you ghosts in her [C]head
and all [F]you skeletons in her closet [C]
[F]leave her alone,
[C]leave her alone,
[F]leave her alone,
[C]leave her alone,
[F]leave her alone,
[C]leave her alone,
[F]leave her alone, please [C]
because my mom[F] needs you gone [G] [C]
[F]my mom needs you [G]gone [C]
as long[F] as she is haunted, s[G]he'll never g[C]et strong,
[F]my mom needs you[G] gone [C]
[F]my mom needs you[G] gone [C]
[F]my mom needs you[G] gone. [C]
