All I Could Do Tab por Kimya Dawson

C 
I had a show a few weeks ago
F                          G 
it's getting harder and harder to sing
C 
and it is hard to focus on my guitar
F                   G         
playing when inside a baby is
C
kicking

C 
At first I was sad and scared
F                   G 
cause this is all I know how to do
C 
then John and Peter played standing up
F                                    G                     C
sometimes something will change and that change will change you.

C 
Then I thought back to six years ago
F                  G 
when Brian Pilkton told me to play
C 
he gave me a car, a typewriter, a guitar
F                       G    
before that all I could do was 
C
count days.

C 
Then I thought back to before my coma
F                    G 
rehab in Tacoma, my junkie roommates
C 
all that I knew how to do was put cigarettes 
F                  G                
out on my self, I took pills and I
C
Drank.

C 
And I thought back to when I was 15
F                               G 
how I was squeaky clean, and I wanted to die
C 
I was feeding the homeless while combating loneliness
F                             G 
all that I could do was keep living a lie.

C 
Then I think back to that 12 year old poet
F                               G 
how she didn't know it was what she would be
C 
all she could do was hide under her bed
F                G           
scared to death that somebody might
C
Read her diary

C 
See I have changed and I'll keep on changing
F                         G 
and maybe my songwriting will suffer
C 
but its okay if at the end of the day
F                         G        
all i can do next is just be a good
C
other
C 
its okay if at the end of the day 
F                   G         
all i can do next is be a good
C
mother.
