Tone: [E]
Ha[E]Have you ever had a dream
 
that your favorite baby's drowning?
and you g[F]grab him by his sweater
sleeve and pull him up on to the ground and
y[E]you can hear the water slosh around inside his tiny gut
pu[F]push his belly up and down but he can't cough the water up
su[E]suddenly a flood comes out his mouth
till there is nothing left ins[F]inside of him,
 
he's empty now
 
there isn't even one small breath
 
 
and [F]he goes l[G]limp in your a[C]arms
a[F]all the people's mo[G]mouths are moving
a[C]all you hear are car alarms
and you [F]wake [G]up and start to [C]cry
[F]I will lose my xx[G]xxxx if even o[C]one more person I know dies,
so pl[F]ease d[G]on't d[C]ie.
 
 
[F]My mom's sick she's in a ho[C]hospital bed
[F]I've got a word for all you gh[C]ghosts in her head
and a[F]all you skeletons in h[C]her closet
[F]leave her alone
[C]leave her alone
[F]leave her alone, pl[C]please
 
 
because m[F]y mom ne[G]eds you g[C]one
m[F]y mom ne[G]eds you g[C]one
as lo[F]ng as she is hau[G]nted sh[C]e'll never get strong
m[F]my mom needs you [G]gone [C]
 
 
you tr[G]traded all your paper clips for a so[C]soap dish that way
your b[G]best friend's rubber ducky wouldn't sl[C]slip and slide away
but he t[G]raded his rubber duck for a
c[C]igar box to place your p[G]aper clips in
Mr. Hooper came to s[G7]say,
 
 
"O[F]h, my d[G]ear friends, B[C]ert and Ernie,
he[F]re's a little so[G]mething for e[C]ach of you from me
h[F]ere are your pa[G]per clips and he[C]re's your rubber ducky
[F]how could I ignore such se[G]selfless gener[G7]generosity?"
 
 
the hu[F]human body's made up of g[C]good and bad bacteria
but the an[F]antibiotics and the
antibacterials are kil[C]killing all the good ones
and the b[F]bad ones just get stronger and be[C]become super infections
it's ha[F]harder to destroy them and it's ha[C]harder to detect them
and there's som[F]something in her bl[C]blood
and there's som[F]something in her l[C]leg
and there's som[F]something in her br[C]brain [G]
 
 
[F]my mom's sick she's in a h[C]hospital bed
[F]I've got a word for all you gh[C]ghosts in her head
and a[F]all you skeletons in h[C]her closet
[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, ple[C]please
because [F]my mom n[G]needs you g[C]gone
[F]my mom ne[G]needs you g[C]gone
as lo[F]ng as she is ha[G]unted, sh[C]e'll never get strong,
[F]my mom ne[G]needs you g[C]gone
[F]my mom ne[G]needs you g[C]gone
[F]my mom ne[G]needs you g[C]gone.
