Intro:
A minorAm
Verse 1:
Sunday night my apartment is empty,
G+G
Half drunk bottle lays on the floor.
FF
There's a blown out Alamo
E minorEm
Next to chewed out apple core.
A minorAm
There's crayons on my coffee table,
G+G
And play dough by a Barbie horse stable
FF
I've never known silence like this before
E minorEm
Til I clean up lemonade all sticky on the floor
A minorAm
Wonder what my kids are doing right now
G+G
Do they miss me? Are they glad to be gone?
Bb majorBb
Saturday night was a lunar eclipse
A minorAm G+G
I sang 'em to sleep with a song like this:
Chorus:

Go to sleep, my weary babies
C majorC
Let the sirens roll on by
FF
Tonight we're safe here in Houston
G+G E minorEm C majorC
With this, your daddy's lullaby
Verse 2:
A augmentedA
Mother's got a new boyfriend now
G+G
He seems alright

I wonder if he's reading them stories
E minorEm
And kissing them good night
A minorAm
Baby sitters say they miss me
G+G
I know I shouldn't hope it's true
FF
The teacher says my daughter paints pictures of her family
E minorEm
All in blue
A minorAm
She says she caught her whispering to the window
G+G
"Daddy, please come home"

I know I should call her up
E minorEm
But what if her mother answers the phone?
A minorAm
So I pick up the army men
G+G
Put the water colours away

I got a buddy named Jimmy

He talks me into staying out late

But I wonder what my kids are doing right now

Do they miss me? Are they glad to be gone?

Well Saturday night was a lunar eclipse

Go to sleep, my weary babies.

Let the sirens roll on by.

With this, your daddy's lullaby.
