  E
Have you ever had a dream
 
that your favorite baby's drowning?
         F
and you grab him by his sweater sleeve and pull him up on to the ground and
 E
you can hear the water slosh around inside his tiny gut
  F
push his belly up and down but he can't cough the water up
  E                                                                F
suddenly a flood comes out his mouth till there is nothing left inside of him,
 
he's empty now
 
there isn't even one small breath
 
 
    F        G            C
and he goes limp in your arms
 F                 G
all the people's mouths are moving 
 C
all you hear are car alarms
        F    G               C
and you wake up and start to cry
F                G           C
I will lose my xxxx if even one more person I know dies,
     F     G     C
so please don't die.
 

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

         F       G        C
because my mom needs you gone
 F       G        C
my mom needs you gone
     F               G      C
as long as she is haunted she'll never get strong
 F               G             C
my mom needs you gone
 

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

  F      G             C
"Oh, my dear friends, Bert and Ernie,
  F               G            C
here's a little something for each of you from me
 F              G               C
here are your paper clips and here's your rubber ducky
F                         G           G7
how could I ignore such selfless generosity?"
 

      F                      C
the human body's made up of good and bad bacteria
          F                                       C
but the antibiotics and the antibacterials are killing all the good ones
         F                               C
and the bad ones just get stronger and become super infections
       F                               C
it's harder to destroy them and it's harder to detect them
               F               C
and there's something in her blood
               F              C
and there's something in her leg
               F               C         G
and there's something in her brain
 
 
F                         C
my mom's sick she's in a hospital bed
F                             C
I've got a word for all you ghosts in her head
     F                    C
and all you skeletons in 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                   C
leave her alone, please
        F       G         C
because my mom needs you gone
F        G        C
my mom needs you gone
     F              G        C
as long as she is haunted, she'll never get strong,
F        G        C
my mom needs you gone
F        G        C
my mom needs you gone
F        G        C
my mom needs you gone.
