Kimya Dawson – All I Could Do (Ukulele)

C
I had a show a few weeks ago

F                          G
it's getting harder and harder to sing

C
and it is hard to focus on my guitar

F                   G
playing when inside a baby is

C
kicking

C
At first I was sad and scared

F                   G
cause this is all I know how to do

C
then John and Peter played standing up

F                                    G                     C
sometimes something will change and that change will change you

C
Then I thought back to six years ago

F                  G
when Brian Pilkton told me to play

C
he gave me a car a typewriter a guitar

F                       G
before that all I could do was

C
count days

C
Then I thought back to before my coma

F                    G
rehab in Tacoma my junkie roommates

C
all that I knew how to do was put cigarettes

F                  G
out on my self I took pills and I

C
Drank.

C
And I thought back to when I was 1

F                               G
how I was squeaky clean and I wanted to die

C
I was feeding the homeless while combating loneliness

F                             G
all that I could do was keep living a lie

C
Then I think back to that 1 year old poet

F                               G
how she didn't know it was what she would be

C
all she could do was hide under her bed

F                G
scared to death that somebody might

C
Read her diary

C
See I have changed and I'll keep on changing

F                         G
and maybe my songwriting will suffer

C
but its okay if at the end of the day

F                         G
all i can do next is just be a good

C
other

C
its okay if at the end of the day

F                   G
all i can do next is be a good

C
mother.
