Tom: Bm
E
Well it all began like a new routine
C C#m D
We were drunk, we were tired, we were sick, we were in between
E
And the jig was up when the sun went down
C C#m D
It was dark, it was mean, it was black, there was not a sound
A
And when the morning papers did not come
C
We shook our heads, We knew that we were done
G B
And so we sat and prayed for just another try
E D
Throw your babies in the water
A F#
Dah Dah Dah, Let your hair down like you used to
E D
And tell all your sons and daughters
A F#
Dah Dah Dah, They don't have to grow up like you
A
They're not supposed to
E
Now the birds don't sing and the cars won't go
C C#m D
There's a lump in your throat, There's no songs on the radio
E
And the walls caved in, and the well went dry, and the mountain shook
C C#m D
And the people all wondered why
A C
And in the morning I woke up to find there's someone here
G
There's someone in mind and so I hung my head and
B
And began to cry
E D
Throw your babies in the water
A F#
Dah Dah Dah, Let your hair down like you used to
E D
And tell all your sons and daughters
A F#
Dah Dah Dah, They don't have to grow up like you
A
They're not supposed to
B A
Cradled whipped and mother's tongue
G#m C#m B
It's not hard to see what went wrong
[only drums]
If I told you once like I done told you twice,
C C#m D
You can beg you can kneel you can pray, you'll be sacrificed
A
And when the morning papers did not come
C
We shook our heads, We knew that we were done
G B
And so we sat and prayed for just another try
E D
Throw your babies in the water
A F#
Dah Dah Dah, Let your hair down like you used to
E D
And tell all your sons and daughters
A F#
Dah Dah Dah, They don't have to grow up like you
A
They're not supposed to
E D
Throw your babies in the water
A F#
Dah Dah Dah, Let your hair down like you used to
E D
And tell all your sons and daughters
A F#
Dah Dah Dah, They don't have to grow up like you
A E
They're not supposed to
