Capo: 2nd fret

[Verse 1]
Am Gadd9 Am Gadd9
In a river the color of lead
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Immerse the baby’s head
Fmaj7 G Am Gadd9 Am
Wrap her up in the News Of The World
Gadd9 Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Dump her on a doorstep, girl

[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7 G Am Amadd9 Am
This night has opened my eyes
Gadd9 G
And I will never sleep again

[Verse 2]
Am Gadd9 Am Gadd9
You kicked and cried like a bullied child
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 G
A grown man of twentyfive
Am Gadd9 Am
Oh, he said he’d cure your ills
Gadd9 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 G
But he didn’t and he never will

[Pre-Chorus]
Am Amadd9 Am
Oh, save your life
Gadd9 G
Because you’ve only got one

[Chorus]
Fmaj7
The dream has gone
Cmaj7
But the baby is real
G F
Oh, you did a good thing
Dm F G Fmaj7 Cmaj7
She could have been a poet
Or, she could have been a fool
G F
Oh, you did a bad thing
Dm F G Dm
And I’m not happy
F G
And I’m not sad

[Verse 3]
Am Gadd9 Am Gadd9
A shoeless child on a swing
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Reminds you of your own again
Fmaj7 G Am
She took away your troubles
Gadd9 Am
Oh, but then again
Gadd9
She left pain
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 G

[Pre-Chorus]
Am Amadd9 Am
So, please save your life
Gadd9 G
Because you’ve only got one

[Chorus]
Fmaj7
The dream has gone
Cmaj7
But the baby is real
G F
Oh, you did a good thing
Dm F G
She could have been a poet
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Or, she could have been a fool
G F
Oh, you did a bad thing
Dm F G Dm
And I’m not happy
F G
And I’m not sad

[Outro]

Oh…
Dm
And I’m not happy
And I’m not sad
F G Fmaj7 Cmaj7 G F Dm
F G Fmaj7 Cmaj7 G F Dm

Oh…

And I’m not happy
And I’m not sad
