[Intro]
C6 C C6 C x4
[Verse 1]
C6 C C6 C C6
I saw you coming so I got to running like hell
C C6 C
I could tell that you played for keeps
C6 C C6 C
Now I live on a boat that sits on a moat
C6 C C6 C
On top of piss river, outside your castle
C6 C C6 C
And when death comes 'round, we all sing, "Oh, what an asshole"
C6 C C6 C
He stirs quite the fuss and he cause quite the hassle
C6 C C6 C
We all buy black suits as our lives go on mute
C6 C C6 C
And meet under the belfry to cry and say sorry
[Chorus]
C
And oh my God
F
Mama, I'm scared
Am
"I know you are, baby
Bb
I am scared, too"
[Break]
C6 C C6 C x2
[Verse 2]
C6 C C6 C
Do you want to play chess inside my chest?
C
You move, I move, you choose, I choose
C
And hoot, hoot, hoot, I beg like an owl
C
As I sit on my perch and I stare and I scowl
C
I know I left you, but I cannot forget you
C
Now I only know how to harm or upset you
C
See, I came for your love, but I stayed for your anger
C
And you rocked me, mama, like a babe in a manger
[Chorus]
C
And oh my God
F
Mama, I'm angry
Am
"I know you are, darling
Bb C6 C C6 C
She's angry, too"
C
And oh my God
F F7
Mama, at who?
Am
"Oh, Carrie
Bb
She's angry at you"
[Break]
C6 C C6 C
C6 C C6 C
[Verse 3]
C6 C C6 C
I tried to pray, but I didn't know what to say
C
So I just mumbled some names
C
I said, "I hope they're okay," then "amen"
C
They were the names of my family and friends
C
Oh, the planet's so lonely and the planet's so cold
C
And if I'm so lucky, I'll die when I'm old
C
I pray no disaster, no fire, no rain
C
And I pray that no devil gets inside my brain
C
As the world does its twirl 'tween the moon and the sun
C
Casting clock shadows beyond everyone
C
And the hours devour us
C
As I stare out my window, as I ride this bus
C
And man, it goes fast, and man, what a blur
C
But I'd ride it the same or just as it were
C
It's that feeling in my stomach when the light was low
C
And I'd get warm in my chest when my heart would slow
C
That feeling in my head when that music played
C
Get dizzy in my soul from the glad song they sang
C
What a dream to have ever felt the air so warm
C
What a dream to have even ever been born
[Chorus]
C F
And oh my God
Am Bb C6 C C6 C
Oh, mama, I love you
C
And oh my God
F Am
"Oh, baby, oh, darling
Bb
I love you, too
[Outro]
C6 C C6 C C6 C C6 C
And I know that you know that I do"
C6 C C6 C
C6 C C6 C
C6 C C6 C
I saw you coming
C6 C C6 C
So I got to running
C6 C C6 C
But next time, I'll stay put
C6 C C6 C x3
End on C
