My Mom – Chocolate Genius
D, Dbm, Bm, A x4
D Dbm Bm A
They got five televisions in a house built for three
D Dbm
Look upon that fake fireplace,
Bm A
you know the bucktoothed boy is me
D Dbm Bm A
See that wood paneled room? That's where I learned to drink
D Dbm Bm A A
You see that hole in the wall? That was seagrams I think
A x2
D Dbm
And that tree was a goal post,
Bm A
that bathroom it was a shroud
D Dbm
That closet it was a phone booth,
Bm A
and that mirror it was a crowd
D Dbm
See that guy with the bad knees
Bm A
and his heart on his sleeve?
D Dbm
Watch him slip me ten dollars
Bm A A
when it comes time to leave...

It's been five years and some change
F#m F#m Bm Bm
and this world is gettin' so strange
F#m F#m Bm Bm
but this house smells just the same
D D D D
And my mom,
D D D
My sweet mom,
D D Dbm Bm A
She don't remember my name
D Dbm Bm
My mom
A D Dbm Bm A
She can't remember my name,
D Dbm Bm A
Not my mom

D Dbm Bm A
I sit on her bed, and I kiss her right behind the ear
D Dbm Bm A
she calls out for a dog that's been dead for a year
D Dbm Bm A
I say "How is it going?" just like I didn't know
D Dbm Bm A
I hold on to both of her hands too afraid to let her go
D Dbm Bm A
And five times exactly, no more and no less,
D Dbm
she says "How you been eatin', boy?"
Bm A
and I say "Ok, I guess"
D Dbm Bm A
In this room where she made me, each day she grows weak
D Dbm
She flips on the Golden Girls
Bm A A
and the first tear hits my cheek
