But Dead Mom I gotta ask

I'm tired of trying to iron out my creases

I'm a bunch of broken pieces
       Db               Ab
It was you who made me whole
      Cm               Ab
Every day Dad's staring at me

Like all "hurry up get happy

Move along

Forget about your mom"

Chorus:

Cause Daddy's in denial

Daddy doesn't wanna feel
Ab
He wants me to smile
                           Cm Cm9 Cm Cm9
And clap like a performing seal
Bb
Ignored it for a while
                              F
But Daddy's lost his mind for real
    Ab                 Bb                 Eb
You won't believe the mess that we've become

Bridge: Ab

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

Are you receiving?
                    A
I want something to believe in
       G
Or I'm done

Chorus:
                          Bm9 Bm Bm9 Bm
Take me where my soul can run
   G
Or I'll be in my bedroom
                        Bm9 Bm Bm9 Bm
Wake me when I'm twenty-one
A
Daddy's moving forward
                    E
Daddy didn't lose a mom

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