                         C#
Don't have to write me a letter
                   D#m
'Cause I'll always be right here
          F#                  C#
Closer to you than your next breath, my dear

              C#
We love every hair on your head
              D#m
Love you like God loves you
        F#
And you say that you're scared
                        C#
Might be unprepared for havin' the baby blues

Chorus:
      C#           D#m
Baby blues, baby blues
          F#
If things ever go wrong
           F#                       C#
Just know this is your song and we love you

You name your babe Lilac Heaven
After your iPhone 11
"Crypto forever," screams your stupid boyfriend
Fuck you, Kevin

We love every freckle you have
We love you like God loves you
If you're ever stressed out,
just dance in the night
If you get those baby blues

Chorus

G#
Pink slippers all on the floor,
F#
woven nets over the door
         G#
It's as close as we'll get to
the dream that they had
       F#
In the one night sixties, and
G#
Jason is out in the lawn
       F#
And he power-washes every time things go wrong
            G#
If you're stressed out,
just know you can dance to your song
          F#
'Cause we got you

Chorus:
If you get the blues, baby blues
Just know this is your song
It'll live on and on, way past me and you
If you get the blues, baby blues
You've got us, we've got you
So there's nothing to lose, and we love you

C#
So don't write me a letter
            D#m
I'll always be right here
           F#                  C#
Closer to you than your next breath, my dear
