[Intro]
Em7 Em6
[Verse 1]
Em7 Em6
Hidden trenches, ice-cold picket fences
Cmaj7/E Em6
I fell and chipped my tooth, a testament to youth
Em7 Em6
Melted ice cream, a saviour from bad dreams
Cmaj7/E Em6
Lennon's in my head, I cannot go to bed
Em7 Em6
So sing me three lullabies, don't dot your T's or cross your I's
Cmaj7/E Em6
I'm sick, oh mom, I'm sick
Em7 Em6
Can't all the ladies cry, she said he needs you but he lies
Cmaj7/E Em6
I'm sick, oh mom, I'm sick!
[Chorus]

Baby, baby blues, try living life in my shoes

Baby, baby blues

Em7 Em6
Feeling lonely, miss my three and only
Cmaj7/E Em6
I fell and dialed two, don't mean to bother you
Em7 Em6
But I'm getting older, and my gaze is getting colder
Cmaj7/E Em6
I never fixed my tooth, a testament to truth
Em7 Em6
Oh, where'd all the loving go? Does anybody out here know?
Cmaj7/E Em6
Not her, not me
Em7 Em6
Called you and I closed your door, said you don't kiss me anymore

Confirm! My baby
