Verse 1:
              Bm
Hey Mom, Dead Mom
  Em           C
I need a little help here
            G            D
I'm prob'ly talking to myself here
         F           C
But Dead Mom I gotta ask
        Em           C
Are you really in the ground?
        Em           C
Cause I feel you all around me
        G            D
Are you here, Dead Mom?
     C
Dead Mom

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

Chorus:
      C
Cause Daddy's in denial
                    Em Em9 Em Em9
Daddy doesn't wanna feel
C
He wants me to smile
                           Em Em9 Em Em9
And clap like a performing seal
D
Ignored it for a while
                              A
But Daddy's lost his mind for real
    C                 D                 G
You won't believe the mess that we've become

Bridge: C

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

Are you receiving?
                    Db
I want something to believe in
       B
Or I'm done

Chorus:
                          Ebm9 Ebm Ebm9 Ebm
Take me where my soul can run
   B
Or I'll be in my bedroom
                        Ebm9 Ebm Ebm9 Ebm
Wake me when I'm twenty-one
Db
Daddy's moving forward
                    Ab
Daddy didn't lose a mom

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