DANIEL (BABY BOY) by KIMYA DAWSON
-----------------------------------
[Verse 1]
G
I was twelve and things had been
C
Pretty okay up till then
D
The only deaths I’d experienced
G
Were of pets and the grandparents of my friends
[Verse 2]
G
I was in gifted and talented
C
Until right around the seventh grade
D
But that is when everything changed
G
And I had to flip a switch and shut off my brain
[Chorus]
G D C
Cause if I thought too much
G D C
I’d get sick to my stomach
G D C
And I would feel like giving up
D
Or throwing up it was just too tough
[Verse 3]
G
Cause that is when I realized that
C
Even little babies die and
D
I had to build a wall inside to
G
Keep me from losing my mind
[Verse 4]
G
He was only nine months old
C
A kid I’d babysit and hug and hold
D
And I would tickle his toes and pat his head
G
And watch his chest rise and fall as he slept in his crib
[Bridge]
G D C
And then my dad said late last night
G D C
A drunk driver hit their car he didn’t survive
G D C
And his mom was hurt bad but his dad is alright
G D C
His big brother is fine cause he stayed at the party
G D C
Yeah yeah steven is fine cause he stayed at the party
[Chorus]
G D C
And if I thought too much
G D C
I’d get sick to my stomach
G D C
And I would feel like giving up
D
Or throwing up it was just too tough
[Verse 5]
G D C
Sometimes things happen when we are small
G D C
That we just don’t have the tools to deal with at all
G D C
So we bottle them up and we just don’t see
G D C
How the stuff that we stuff will affect who we’ll be
[Verse 6]
G D C
What protects us as kids slowly makes us insane
G D C
So I’m trying to dismantle barricades
G D C
Brick by brick in an attempt to set free my brain
G D C
Brick by brick in an attempt to set free my brain
G D C
And I just hope that my heart is stronger now
G D C
So much stronger than it was when I was twelve
[Chorus]
G D C
When if I thought too much
G D C
I’d get sick to my stomach
G D C
And I would feel like giving up
D
Or throwing up it was just too tough
[Verse 7]
G D C
And I’d sing ‘Daniel’ again and again
G D C
And pretend you were just traveling on a plane
G D C
Quarter century later it’s still hard to take
G D C
But with every red tail light I scream out your name
G D C
Yeah with every red tail light I scream out your name
G D C
Yeah with every red tail light I scream out your name
[Outro]
G D C
I say ‘Daniel, Daniel, Daniel’
G D C
I say ‘Daniel, Daniel, Daniel’
G D C
I say ‘Daniel, Daniel, Daniel’
G D C
Baby boy, baby boy, baby boy
G D C
Baby boy, baby boy, baby boy
G D C
Baby boy, baby boy, baby boy
G
Baby boy
