[Verse 1]
F C Dm
My dad can’t get out of bed
G7
There’s somethin’ in his lungs
C7
I think that’s what the doctor said
Bb F
I gotta leave for Paris now
Dm C Bb
My band goes on at 10
Gm C F Bb F
And my dad can’t get out of bed
[Verse 2]
F C Dm
The Earth is spinnin’ like it always did
G7
‘The New York Times’ is publishin’
C7
Some real important thing
Bb F
And each day when the world wakes up
Dm C Bb
Our lawns will still be wet
Gm C F Bb F C/E
And my dad can’t get out of bed
[Chorus]
Bb F Am Dm
God is really real when you really, really need Him
Bb F Am Dm
Karma just appears when you suddenly believe it
Gm C Bb G7/B C A7/C# Dm C
Hear it loud and clear, just as long as it’s con venient (Convenient)
Bb F/A Gm Bb Bbm F Bb F
Life’s fuckin’ long ‘til it stops, and God’s fuckin’ fake ‘til He’s not
[Verse 3]
F C Dm
There’s robots that are way too good at art
G7
And everybody’s sad now
C7
And tryna get to Mars
Bb F
Don’t wanna hear your problems
Dm C Bb
‘Cause there’s just one in my head
Gm C F Bb F
And he can’t get out of bed
[Verse 4]
F C Dm
What if we could break you out tonight?
G7
This kind of thing happens to other dads
C7
It don’t happen to mine
Bb F Dm C Bb
I’ll distract the doctors; we could sneak out with your meds
Bb F Dm C Bb
You could come along and be a roadie for the band
Gm C F Bb F C/E
Come on, Dad, get out of bed
[Chorus]
Bb F Am Dm
God is really real when you really, really need Him
Bb F Am Dm
Karma just appears when you suddenly believe it
Gm C Bb G7/B C A7/C# Dm C
Hear it loud and clear, just as long as it’s con venient (Convenient)
Bb F/A Gm Bb Bbm F Bb F
Life’s fuckin’ long ‘til it stops, and God’s fuckin’ fake ‘til He’s not
[Verse 5]
F C Dm
Now it’s late, I really gotta go
G7 C7
And we can’t face our feelings, so we’re makin’ lots of jokes
Bb F Dm C Bb
And we won’t cry about it, no, we’ll be manly men
Bb F Dm C Bb
“I love you” sounds all corny, so I wrote this song instead
Gm C A7/C# Dm C
I’ll sing it for you, Dad, when you get out of bed
Gm C F Bb F
I’ll sing for you when you’re out of bed
[Verse 1]
