Hey Mom, Dead Mom
  Bm           G
I need a little help here

I'm prob'ly talking to myself here
         C           G
But Dead Mom I gotta ask
        Bm           G
Are you really in the ground?
        Bm           G
Cause I feel you all around me

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

Chorus:
      G
Cause Daddy's in denial

Daddy doesn't wanna feel
G
He wants me to smile
                           Bm Bm9 Bm Bm9
And clap like a performing seal
A
Ignored it for a while
                              E
But Daddy's lost his mind for real
    G                 A                 D
You won't believe the mess that we've become

Bridge: G

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

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

Chorus:
                          Bbm9 Bbm Bbm9 Bbm
Take me where my soul can run
   Gb
Or I'll be in my bedroom
                        Bbm9 Bbm Bbm9 Bbm
Wake me when I'm twenty-one
Ab
Daddy's moving forward
                    Eb
Daddy didn't lose a mom

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