           G                        C
when we're born we're wrapped up in blankets
                G                      C
and baptized in water and shown around town
      G                      C
its a good life just being a baby
              G                       C
looking up occasionally and cooing at strangers

        G                        C
when we live we are creatures of habit
            G                      C
setting the table and stocking the pantry
        G                           C
when we live we are high school bus drivers
                G                       C
and mothers and fighters and losers and fools

         C  D    G            C     D  G
when our parents die we'll be young again
  C            Gb       E     Em
nobody's gonna check under my bed
    C      D       G
the day my parents die

        G                           C
we're insured but we're not sure of nothing
              G                       C
tasting those memories of summer camp love
            G                       C     
and all the proverbs and fables and wise words
                  G                              C
couldn't teach us nothing cause we weren't gonna listen

             C  D     G           C  D  G
but when our parents die we'll be listening
           C           Gb       E     Em
there's no sound quite like the empty house
       C        D       G
on the day your parents die

        G                         C
and our minds were once throbbing sponges
            G                        C
testing the air for the last drip of knowledge
          G                          C
and as we grow we are soaked in frustration
        G                                C
only remembering we remembered something once

         C  D    G           C  D   G
when our parents die we'll remember them
        C         Gb        E          Em
all the things we wished we would have said
           C       D       G
before the day our parents died
