Intro: Am Verse 1: Sunday night my apartment is empty, G Half drunk bottle lays on the floor. F There's a blown out Alamo Em Next to chewed out apple core.
Am There's crayons on my coffee table, G And play dough by a Barbie horse stable F I've never known silence like this before Em Til I clean up lemonade all sticky on the floor Am Wonder what my kids are doing right now G Do they miss me? Are they glad to be gone? Bb Saturday night was a lunar eclipse Am G I sang 'em to sleep with a song like this: Chorus: C G Go to sleep, my weary babies C Let the sirens roll on by F Tonight we're safe here in Houston G Em C With this, your daddy's lullaby Verse 2: A Mother's got a new boyfriend now G He seems alright C F I wonder if he's reading them stories Em And kissing them good night Am Baby sitters say they miss me G I know I shouldn't hope it's true F The teacher says my daughter paints pictures of her family Em All in blue Am She says she caught her whispering to the window G "Daddy, please come home" F I know I should call her up Em But what if her mother answers the phone? Am So I pick up the army men G Put the water colours away F I got a buddy named Jimmy Em He talks me into staying out late Am But I wonder what my kids are doing right now G Do they miss me? Are they glad to be gone? Bb Well Saturday night was a lunar eclipse Am I sang 'em a song, went just like G this: Chorus: C G Go to sleep, my weary babies. C Let the sirens roll on by. F Tonight we're safe here in Houston. G C With this, your daddy's lullaby.
