[Verse 1]
[G]I[C][G]
[C][D][G][C][G][C][D][G]
had
a show [C]a few weeks ago
It's get[G]ting [C]harder and harder [D]to sing
[G]And it is hard [C]to focus on
my guitar playing
[G]When in[C]side a [D]baby is [G]kicking
At first I [C]was sad and scared
'Cause [G]this is all I [C]know how to [D]do
[G]Then John and [C]Peter played
standing up
Sometimes [G]something [C]will change
And [D]that change [G]will change you
Then I thought back [C]to six years ago
When [G]Bri[C]an Pilkton told me to [D]play
He [G]gave me a car, [C]a typewriter, a guitar
[G]Before that [C]all I could [D]do was count [G]days
Then I thought back to be
[C]fore my coma
Rehab [G]in Tacoma, my [C]junkie room[D]mates
An[G]d all that I knew how
to do [C]was
Put cigarettes out [G]on [C]myself,
I took [D]pills and I [G]drank
And I thought back to [C]when I was 15
How I was [G]squeaky clean
and [C]I wanted t[D]o die
I [G]was feeding the homeless
[C]while combating loneliness
All [G]I c[C]ould do was keep l[D]iving a l[G]ie
Then I think back to [C]that 12 year old poet
How she didn't [G]know it
was [C]what she would [D]be
[G]All she could do was hide
[C]under her bed
Scared to death [G]that [C]somebody
might [D]read her di[G]ary
You see I have changed and
[C]I'll keep on changing
[G]And maybe my [C]song- writing will suf[D]fer
But [G]it's okay if at [C]the end of the day
All I [G]can do nex[C]t is just
[D]be a good [G]mother
It's okay if at [C]the end of the day
All I [G]can [C]do next is [D]be a [G]good

[Outro 1]
