Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[E][E][E][E]

[Verse 1]
[E]Have you ever had a dream
That your favorite baby's drowning
And you [Am]grab him by his sweater sleeve
and pull him up on to the ground
And [E]you can hear the water slosh
around inside his tiny gut
[Am]Push his belly up and down
but he can't cough the water up
[E]Suddenly a flood comes out
his mouth till there is nothing left in[Am]side of him
He's empty now
There isn't even one small breath

[Pre-chorus 1]
And [F]he goes [G]limp in your [C]arms
[F]All the people's [G]mouths are moving
[C]All you hear are [F]car alarms
And you wake [G]up and start [C]to cry
[F]I will lose my s[G]hit if even o[C]ne more person
[F]I know dies
So please [G]don't [C]die

[Chorus 1]
[F]My mom's sick, she's in a [C]hospital bed
[F]I've got a word for all you [C]ghosts in her head
And [F]all you skeletons in [C]her closet
[F]Leave her alone, [C]leave her alone
[F]Leave her alone, please
Because my mom [G]needs you [C]gone
[F]My mom [G]needs you [C]gone
As [F]long as she is [G]haunted
[C]she'll never [F]get strong
My mom [G]needs you [C]gone

[Verse 2]
You [G]traded all your paper clips
for a [F]soap dish that [C]way
Your [G]best friend's rubber ducky
wouldn't [F]slip and slide a[C]way
But [G]he traded his rubber duck for a [F]cigar box
to [C]place your [G]paper clips in
Mr. Hooper came to say
"Oh, my [F]dear friends [C]Bert and Ernie
[G]Here's a little [F]something
for [C]each of you from me
[G]Here are your [F]paper clips
and [C]here's your rubber ducky
[G]How could I ignore such selfless generosity?"

[Pre-chorus 2]
The [F]human body's made up
of [C]good and bad bacteria
But the [F]antibiotics and the antibacterials
are [C]killing all the good ones
And the [F]bad ones just get stronger
and be[C]come super infections
It's [F]harder to destroy them
and it's [C]harder to detect them
And there's [F]something in her [C]blood
And there's [F]something in her [C]leg
And there's [F]something in her [C]brain[G]

[Chorus 2]
[F]My mom's sick, she's in a [C]hospital bed
[F]I've got a word for all you [C]ghosts in her head
And [F]all you skeletons in [C]her closet
[F]Leave her alone, [C]leave her alone
[F]Leave her alone, [C]leave her alone
[F]Leave her alone, [C]leave her alone
[F]Leave her alone, please
Because my mom [G]needs you [C]gone
[F]My mom [G]needs you [C]gone
As [F]long as she is [G]haunted
[C]she'll never [F]get strong
My mom [G]needs you [C]gone
[F]My mom [G]needs you [C]gone
[F]My mom [G]needs you [C]gone
[F]My mom [G]needs you [C]gone
