My Mom – Chocolate Genius
D, Dbm, Bm, A augmentedA x4
D MajorD DbmDbm B minorBm A augmentedA
They got five televisions in a house built for three
D MajorD DbmDbm
Look upon that fake fireplace,
B minorBm A augmentedA
you know the bucktoothed boy is me
D MajorD DbmDbm B minorBm A augmentedA
See that wood paneled room? That's where I learned to drink
D MajorD DbmDbm B minorBm A augmentedA A augmentedA
You see that hole in the wall? That was seagrams I think
A augmentedA x2
D MajorD DbmDbm
And that tree was a goal post,
B minorBm A augmentedA
that bathroom it was a shroud
D MajorD DbmDbm
That closet it was a phone booth,
B minorBm A augmentedA
and that mirror it was a crowd
D MajorD DbmDbm
See that guy with the bad knees
B minorBm A augmentedA
and his heart on his sleeve?
D MajorD DbmDbm
Watch him slip me ten dollars
B minorBm A augmentedA A augmentedA
when it comes time to leave...
A augmentedA x2
F# minorF#m x 4
F# minorF#m F# minorF#m B minorBm B minorBm
It's been five years and some change
F# minorF#m F# minorF#m B minorBm B minorBm
and this world is gettin' so strange
F# minorF#m F# minorF#m B minorBm B minorBm
but this house smells just the same
D MajorD D MajorD D MajorD D MajorD
And my mom,
D MajorD D MajorD D MajorD
My sweet mom,
D MajorD D MajorD DbmDbm B minorBm A augmentedA
She don't remember my name
D MajorD DbmDbm B minorBm
My mom
A augmentedA D MajorD DbmDbm B minorBm A augmentedA
She can't remember my name,
D MajorD DbmDbm B minorBm A augmentedA
Not my mom
D MajorD DbmDbm B minorBm A augmentedA
I sit on her bed, and I kiss her right behind the ear
D MajorD DbmDbm B minorBm A augmentedA
she calls out for a dog that's been dead for a year
D MajorD DbmDbm B minorBm A augmentedA
I say "How is it going?" just like I didn't know
D MajorD DbmDbm B minorBm A augmentedA
I hold on to both of her hands too afraid to let her go
D MajorD DbmDbm B minorBm A augmentedA
And five times exactly, no more and no less,
D MajorD DbmDbm
she says "How you been eatin', boy?"
B minorBm A augmentedA
and I say "Ok, I guess"
D MajorD DbmDbm B minorBm A augmentedA
In this room where she made me, each day she grows weak
D MajorD DbmDbm
She flips on the Golden Girls
B minorBm A augmentedA A augmentedA
and the first tear hits my cheek
A augmentedA x6
F# minorF#m F# minorF#m B minorBm B minorBm
It's been five years and some change
F# minorF#m F# minorF#m B minorBm B minorBm
and this world is gettin' so strange
F# minorF#m F# minorF#m B minorBm B minorBm
but this house smells just the same
D MajorD D MajorD D MajorD D MajorD
And my mom,
D MajorD D MajorD D MajorD
My sweet mom,
D MajorD D MajorD DbmDbm B minorBm A augmentedA
She don't remember my name
D MajorD DbmDbm B minorBm
My mom
A augmentedA D MajorD DbmDbm B minorBm A augmentedA
Can't remember my name,
D MajorD DbmDbm B minorBm
She's my mom now
A augmentedA D MajorD DbmDbm B minorBm A augmentedA
she can't remember my name
D MajorD DbmDbm B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD DbmDbm B minorBm A augmentedA
My mom can't remember my name
D MajorD DbmDbm B minorBm A augmentedA
My mom
