But Dead Mom I gotta ask

Dead Mom
    Abm                Dbm         A
I'm tired of trying to iron out my creases
      E               B
I'm a bunch of broken pieces
       D               A
It was you who made me whole
      Dbm               A
Every day Dad's staring at me
          Dbm          A
Like all "hurry up get happy
     E
Move along
-nc-              A
Forget about your mom"

Chorus:
      A
Cause Daddy's in denial
                    Dbm Dbm9 Dbm Dbm9
Daddy doesn't wanna feel
A
He wants me to smile
                           Dbm Dbm9 Dbm Dbm9
And clap like a performing seal
B
Ignored it for a while
                              Gb
But Daddy's lost his mind for real
    A                 B                 E
You won't believe the mess that we've become

Bridge: A

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

Are you receiving?
                    Bb
I want something to believe in
       Ab
Or I'm done

Chorus:
                          Cm9 Cm Cm9 Cm
Take me where my soul can run
   Ab
Or I'll be in my bedroom
                        Cm9 Cm Cm9 Cm
Wake me when I'm twenty-one
Bb
Daddy's moving forward
                    F
Daddy didn't lose a mom

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