[VERSE ONE]

Am       F      Am  G                    C
Southern California is bad for the soul
    Am       F    Am        G
And New York City takes its toll
    F     Am    G           Am   F    G   C
The Mississippi River has a mean undertow
    Am    F      Am     G                           C
How can I shield myself from the things that I hear
  Am      F        Am       G       
I want to close my eyes and sleep for a year
F       Am        G
Tell me that it's only a dream
Am          F     G
That it's a nightmare


[CHORUS]

C      Am     F     Am    G  
Trying not to think about it
C      Am     F     Am    G  
Trying not to think about it

[VERSE TWO]

C   Am       F      Am    G
How can your mother be so strong
C        Am   F    Am G
When her only baby is gone
F Am         G
I don't know where you are
Am   F        G
Everything is wrong


[CHORUS]

       C      Am     F     Am    G 
So I'm trying not to think about it
C      Am     F     Am    G  
Trying not to think about it
