Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][D][G][C][D][G][C][G][D][G][C][D][G]
[C]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[D]Ba bies being born every day
In a world where there's
[C]so much to [G]discover
All the [D]ba bies crying out from the womb
Not much room,
[C]can I come [F]out mother?

[Verse 2]
[F]
[Bb]Mama, [C]can[Bb] you hear me call?
[C]Don't dro[F]p me now
Cause it's a [C]long way to [G]fall
[Bb]Mama, [C]I can hea[Bb]r all the sounds
[C]Outside it's [F]like a battleground
And I'm [C]afraid to fall [G]down
Into the great big [C]nowhere
[Bb]Papa's [C]had [Bb]a skin [C]full of [Bb]beer
[C]Mama, [Bb]don't [C]let him [Bb]into here
[D]Baby, [G]bab[C]y[D][G][C][G]

[Verse 3]
[D]Ba bies being born
Different hormones and genes
There's [C]so many of us out [G]there
[C]How[D] was I conceived
Was it love, was I meant
[C]Or was I just an [G]accident
[F]

[Verse 4]
[Bb]Mama, [C]what I sen[Bb]se from outside
[C]It's a w[F]orld full of fear
And there's [C]nowhere to [G]hide
[Bb]Mama, [C]I feel saf[Bb]e between these walls
An[C]d I[F]'m so scared of heights
And it's [C]a long way to [G]fall
Into the great big [C]nowhere
Maybe [Bb]Papa's getting
pressure from his peers
Are you straight, are you queer
So he [D]made [G]me, [C]bab[D]y[G][C][G]

[Verse 5]
[D]Babies being born, some are rich,
some are poor
But they're [C]innocent and unprepared
[G]Lit[D]tle girls and boys,
didn't ask to be born
But they're [C]always popping [G]out [F]there
[Bb]Falling [C]in [F]to the great big now[C]here

[Verse 6]
[F]Mama, I know that once upon a time
You and [G]Papa were rich
When you were both in your prime
[F]Mama, now you got the pains
And I know it's nearly time
But I don't [G]want to join the crowd
I see [A]standing in line
[D]Baby, [G]bab[C]y, bab[D]y, [G]baby,[C][G][D]
[G]bab[C]y, bab[D]y[G][C][G]
[D]Babies being induced,

[Verse 7]
[D]
no excuse, what's the use
So they're [C]always popping out [G]there
[C]Babies did[D]n't wanna be born
Ill equipped, running loose
But they're [C]innocent and [G]unpre[F]pared

[Verse 8]
[Bb]Mama,
[C]now you are[Bb] showing all the signs
But [C]is your [F]world upside- down
On its [C]head just [G]like mine
[Bb]Mama, [C]now your ambit[Bb]ion is mine
Don't make me [F]over
Achieve too [C]much in my [G]time
Oh Mama, please [C]don't [G]make me cli[C]mb
[D]
[G][C][D][G][C][G][D][G][C][D][G][C]
[D]

[Outro 1]
Mama
