Ehave you ever had a dream
that your favorite baby's drowning
and you Fgrab him by his sweater sleeve and Cpull him up on to the ground and
Eyou can hear the water slosh around inside his tiny gut
Fpush his belly up and down but Che can't cough the water up
suddenly a flood comes out his mouth till there is nothing left inside of him
he's empty now
there isn't even one small breath
Cand he goes Glimp in your Amarms
Amall the people's mouths are moving
Call you hear are car alarms
Cand you wake Gup and start to Amcry
CI will lose my Gshit if even Amone more person I know dies
so Cplease Gdon't Amdie
Ammy mom's sick she's in a Chospital bed
AmI've got a word for all you Cghosts in her head
Amand all you skeletons in Cher closet
Gleave her alone
Gleave her alone
Gleave her alone, Cplease
Ambecause my mom Gneeds you Cgone
Ammy mom Gneeds you Cgone
Amas long as she is Ghaunted Cshe'll never get strong
Ammy mom Gneeds you Cgone
you traded all your paper clips for a soap dish that way
your best friend's rubber ducky wouldn't slip and slide away
but he traded his rubber duck for a cigar box to place your paper clips in
Mr. Hooper came to say
'oh my dear friends Bert and Ernie
here's a little something for each of you from me
here are your paper clips and here's your rubber ducky
how could I ignore such selfless generosity?'
the human body's made up of good and bad bacteria
but the antibiotics and the antibacterials are killing all the good ones
and the bad ones just get stronger and become super infections
it's harder to destroy them and it's harder to detect them
and there's something in her blood
and there's something in her leg
and there's something in her brain
my mom's sick she's in a hospital bed
I've got a word for all you ghosts in her head
and all you skeletons in her closet
leave her alone
leave her alone
leave her alone
leave her alone
leave her alone
leave her alone
leave her alone, please
because my mom needs you gone
my mom needs you gone
as long as she is haunted she'll never get strong
my mom needs you gone
my mom needs you gone
my mom needs you gone
my mom needs you gone

Chords in this song · guitar

have you ever had a dream

that your favorite baby's drowning

F C

and you grab him by his sweater sleeve and pull him up on to the ground and

you can hear the water slosh around inside his tiny gut

F C

push his belly up and down but he can't cough the water up

suddenly a flood comes out his mouth till there is nothing left inside of him

he's empty now

there isn't even one small breath

C G Am

and he goes limp in your arms

all the people's mouths are moving

all you hear are car alarms

C G Am

and you wake up and start to cry

C G Am

I will lose my shit if even one more person I know dies

C G Am

so please don't die

Am C

my mom's sick she's in a hospital bed

Am C

I've got a word for all you ghosts in her head

Am C

and all you skeletons in her closet

leave her alone

G C

leave her alone, please

Am G C

because my mom needs you gone

Am G C

my mom needs you gone

Am G C

as long as she is haunted she'll never get strong

Am G C

my mom needs you gone

you traded all your paper clips for a soap dish that way

your best friend's rubber ducky wouldn't slip and slide away

but he traded his rubber duck for a cigar box to place your paper clips in

Mr. Hooper came to say

'oh my dear friends Bert and Ernie

here's a little something for each of you from me

here are your paper clips and here's your rubber ducky

how could I ignore such selfless generosity?'

the human body's made up of good and bad bacteria

but the antibiotics and the antibacterials are killing all the good ones

and the bad ones just get stronger and become super infections

it's harder to destroy them and it's harder to detect them

and there's something in her blood

and there's something in her leg

and there's something in her brain

my mom's sick she's in a hospital bed

I've got a word for all you ghosts in her head

and all you skeletons in her closet

leave her alone

leave her alone, please

because my mom needs you gone

my mom needs you gone

as long as she is haunted she'll never get strong

my mom needs you gone
