C I had a show a few weeks ago FG it's getting harder and harder to sing C and it is hard to focus on my guitar FG playing when inside a baby is C kicking
C At first I was sad and scared FG cause this is all I know how to do C then John and Peter played standing up FGC sometimes something will change and that change will change you
C Then I thought back to six years ago FG when Brian Pilkton told me to play C he gave me a car a typewriter a guitar FG before that all I could do was C count days
C Then I thought back to before my coma FG rehab in Tacoma my junkie roommates C all that I knew how to do was put cigarettes FG out on my self I took pills and I C Drank.
C And I thought back to when I was 1 FG how I was squeaky clean and I wanted to die C I was feeding the homeless while combating loneliness FG all that I could do was keep living a lie
C Then I think back to that 1 year old poet FG how she didn't know it was what she would be C all she could do was hide under her bed FG scared to death that somebody might C Read her diary
C See I have changed and I'll keep on changing FG and maybe my songwriting will suffer C but its okay if at the end of the day FG all i can do next is just be a good C other C its okay if at the end of the day FG all i can do next is be a good C mother.
