Babies Having Babies - American Aquarium
Track 9 - The Fear of Standing Still (2024)

---------------------------------------------------------

Standard Tuning; Capo 1st fret

[Verse 1]
C
She showed up like a vision
F C
Her summer dress whipping
Am G F
In the wind like fresh laundry on the line
C F C
Delightfully enamored with a reckless abandon
Am G F C F
We carried on like children with no sense of time

[Verse 2]
C F C
We'd fumble through the darkness, wide-eyed and love drunk
Am G F
Teaching one another how the other's body worked
C F C
Ain't it funny when your flying the last thing you're thinking
Am G F C
About is just how bad the coming down is gonna hurt

[Chorus]
C Am G C Am G F
We were babies having babies
C G F
Round here that's a tale as old as time
C
F

[Verse 3]
C F C
I held her close as she cried into my shoulder
Am G F
Her shedding skin shaking like the timbre in her voice
C F C
I watched what a kid did to my mother
Am G F C F
I told her either way that I would stand by the choice

[Verse 4]
C F C
We packed up a bag and drove to the city
Am G F
Shouldered through the pickets and the hand painted signs
C F C
They called her names while they called themselves Christians
Am G F C
That sort of hate has got no place in any faith of mine

[Chorus]
C Am G C Am G F
We were babies having babies
C G F
Round here that's a tale as old as time

[Bridge]
