[Intro]
A# F C x2
[Verse]
A# F C
Our son is four months old his name is Anthony or Ash for short
A# F C
And he's too small to do things by himself
A# F C A#
We were in LA over Christmas in a rental and we jury-rigged a place
F C
To change his diapers on a shelf
A# F C
I was peeing in the bathroom and had left him for a second
A# F C
'Cause I thought he couldn't move and he was safe
A# F C
As I came out I saw him falling in slow motion to the floor
A# F C
It was probably the worst moment of my life
[Instrumental]
A# F C x2
A# F C
And then I accidentally stole a thing of chapstick from the safeway
A# F C
I didn't see it 'til I got out to the car
A# F C
I would have usually returned it but I was overwhelmed
A# F C
And late to take the baby to my cousins which was far away
A# F C
In my defense, I'd bought like 87 dollars worth of groceries
A# F C
And the chapstick was a dollar 99
A# F
I know it wasn't the right thing to use
C
My newborn child as an excuse
A# F C
But it felt like a good reason at the time
A# F
And as I pulled out of the parking lot I cried
A# F
And as I pulled onto the highway I said right
A# F C
At least the baby didn't die
A# F C
At least the baby didn't die
A# F
And then we went to Sarasota
C
To see Neil's cousin Helen
A# F C
For her birthday she just turned ninety-nine
A# F
We were also there for Sidney
C
Who was ninety-four two days before
A# F C
But he was sick, so mostly it was Ash and Helen time
A# F
She survived the Warsaw ghetto
C
And she always says I love you"
A# F C
When she sees you 'cause she knows you never know
A# F
She'd worked for months while I was pregnant
