β™« Verse : Em Am Oh Mom, the kids are playing in pennies A Am Em They're up to their knees in money and the dirt of the churchyard steps Em Am Oh Mom, that man he ripped out his lining A Am Em He tore out a piece of his body to show us his clean quilted heart β™« Chorus: G Am Oh Mom I wonder when I'll be waking C F G Gadd11 G It's just that there's so much to do and I'm tired of sleeping G Am Oh Mom I wonder when I'll be waking C F G Gadd11 G It's just that there's so much to do and I'm tired of sleeping β™« Instrumental: E A E E A E E A E β™« Verse : Em Am Oh Mom, the bird on the string is hanging C F G Gadd11 G Her bones are twisting and dancing she's fighting for her small life Em Am Oh Mom I wonder when I'll be waking C F G Gadd11 G It's just that there's so much to do and I'm tired of sleeping β™« Chorus: G Am Oh Mom I wonder when I'll be waking C F G Gadd11 G It's just that there's so much to do and I'm tired of sleeping G Am Oh Mom I wonder when I'll be waking C F G Gadd11 G Gadd11 G Gadd11 It's just that there's so much to do and I'm tired of sleeping
