Lyrics

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

[Verse 2]
         C#m              F#m            D
I'm tired   of tryin' to iron out my creases
           A             E/G#
I'm a bunch of broken pieces
          G
It was you who made me whole
         F#m                D
Every day   Dad's starin' at me
              F#m           D
Like all, "Hurry up, get happy
          A
Move along
      E/G#               D
Forget    about your mom"

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

[Bridge]
D              Em
 You're my home
          D
My destination
                  C
And I'm your clone
                 Am
Your strange creation
                Em
You held my hand
                D
And life came easy
                    C
Now jokes don't land
               Am
And no one sees  me
                    Em
Nothing seems to fit
Mama, is this it?
D
 Are you receiving?
                           D#
I want something to believe  in
           Db
Or I'm done

[Chorus]
                          Fm
Take me where my soul can run
       Db
Or I'll  be in my bedroom
                       Fm
Wake me when I'm twentyone
   Eb
Daddy's moving forward
                       Bb
Daddy didn't lose a mom

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