Hey Mom, Dead Mom
  Am           F
I need a little help here
            C            G
I'm prob'ly talking to myself here
         Bb           F
But Dead Mom I gotta ask
        Am           F
Are you really in the ground?
        Am           F
Cause I feel you all around me
        C            G
Are you here, Dead Mom?
     F
Dead Mom

Verse 2:
     C
Dead Mom
    Em                Am         F
I'm tired of trying to iron out my creases
      C               G
I'm a bunch of broken pieces
       Bb               F
It was you who made me whole
      Am               F
Every day Dad's staring at me
          Am          F
Like all "hurry up get happy
     C
Move along
-nc-              F
Forget about your mom"

Chorus:
      F
Cause Daddy's in denial
                    Am Am9 Am Am9
Daddy doesn't wanna feel
F
He wants me to smile
                           Am Am9 Am Am9
And clap like a performing seal
G
Ignored it for a while
                              D
But Daddy's lost his mind for real
    F                 G                 C
You won't believe the mess that we've become

Bridge: F

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

Are you receiving?
                    Gb
I want something to believe in
       E
Or I'm done

Chorus:
                          Abm9 Abm Abm9 Abm
Take me where my soul can run
   E
Or I'll be in my bedroom
                        Abm9 Abm Abm9 Abm
Wake me when I'm twenty-one
Gb
Daddy's moving forward
                    Db
Daddy didn't lose a mom

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