The Baby Didn't Make It

How you holding up, baby, can I get you anything?  D      b    C
Would you like a tranquilizer?
Or maybe just a stiff drink?
We all know what yr feeling
We all feel it too
The baby didn't make it
There was nothing that you could do.

In the year of yr first awakening, baby,
You just traded everything
For an endless supply of the same old lies
And the comfort of a wedding ring.
And we all know what you've sacrificed
We've made sacrifices, too
The baby didn't make it
And there was nothing that we could do

Could you imagine if what you imagined      D  C
It was gonna be like came true?     G  
Some people find their satisfied mind  D   C 
Though most of us never do  G

But, baby, I'm pulling for you   D   C   G
How you holding up, baby, you can talk to me, I'm yr friend   D  b  C
And I know that right now yr hurting, doll
And it feels like the bitter end
Let me take you in my arms, little darlin'
And I'll teach you how to dance again.

We all know that yr searching
We're all searching for something, too
The baby didn't make it
But this world will have to do.




Let me take you in my arms, little darlin'
And I'll teach you how to dance again.
