Dead Mom

I'm tired of trying to iron out my creases

I'm a bunch of broken pieces
       A               E
It was you who made me whole
      Abm               E
Every day Dad's staring at me

Like all "hurry up get happy

Move along

Forget about your mom"

      E
Cause Daddy's in denial

Daddy doesn't wanna feel
E
He wants me to smile
                           Abm Abm9 Abm Abm9
And clap like a performing seal
Gb
Ignored it for a while
                              Db
But Daddy's lost his mind for real
    E                 Gb                 B

Bridge: E

          Gbm
You're my home
        E
My destination
             D
And I'm your clone
             Bm
Your strange creation
            Gbm
You held my hand
              E
And life came easy
                D
Now jokes don't land
           Bm
And no one sees me
                 Gbm
Nothing seems to fit
              E
Mamma is this it?

Are you receiving?
                    F
I want something to believe in
       Eb
Or I'm done

Chorus:
                          Gm9 Gm Gm9 Gm
Take me where my soul can run
   Eb
Or I'll be in my bedroom
                        Gm9 Gm Gm9 Gm
Wake me when I'm twenty-one
F
Daddy's moving forward
                    C
Daddy didn't lose a mom

Eb              F
Mamma won't you send a sign?
Gm                 Bb
I'm running out of hope and time
Eb                  F
A plague of mice, a lightning strike
Gm                C
Or drop a nuclear bomb
Eb              F
No more playing Daddy's game
     Gm   F      Bb
I'll go insane if things don't change
            Eb                F
Whatever it takes to make him say your name
Bb
Dead Mom
