Verse 1
   F         C          Dm
My dad can't get out of bed
        G7
There's somethin' in his lungs
               C7
I think that's what the doctor said
  Bb              F
I gotta leave for Paris now
   Dm*       C*    Bb*
My band goes on at 10
       Gm        C             F   Bb F
And my dad can't get out of bed

Verse 2
    F                 C              Dm
The Earth is spinnin' like it always did
     G7
'The New York Times' is publishin'
     C7
Some real important thing
         Bb           F
And each day when the world wakes up
    Dm*        C*          Bb*
Our lawns will still be wet
       Gm        C             F   Bb F C/E
And my dad can't get out of bed

Chorus
Bb            F             Am             Dm
God is really real when you really, really need Him
Bb           F              Am         Dm
Karma just appears when you suddenly believe it
Gm               C              Bb*  G7/B* C*   A7/C#* Dm*         C*
Hear it loud and clear, just as long as    it's con   venient (Convenient)
Bb*            F/A*         Gm*        Bb*           Bbm*              F   Bb F
Life's fuckin' long 'til it stops, and God's fuckin' fake 'til He's not

Verse 3
        F               C               Dm
There's robots that are way too good at art
    G7
And everybody's sad now
    C7
And tryna get to Mars
      Bb              F
Don't wanna hear your problems
               Dm*      C*        Bb*
'Cause there's just one in my head
    Gm       C             F   Bb F
And he can't get out of bed

Verse 4
F                C               Dm
What if we could break you out tonight?
     G7
This kind of thing happens to other dads
   C7
It don't happen to mine
     Bb           F                 Dm*       C*          Bb*
I'll distract the doctors; we could sneak out with your meds
Bb              F             Dm*    C*      Bb*
You could come along and be a roadie for the band
     Gm       C             F  Bb F C/E
Come on, Dad, get out of bed

Chorus
Bb            F             Am             Dm
God is really real when you really, really need Him
Bb           F              Am         Dm
Karma just appears when you suddenly believe it
Gm               C              Bb*  G7/B* C*   A7/C#* Dm*         C*
Hear it loud and clear, just as long as    it's con   venient (Convenient)
Bb*            F/A*         Gm*        Bb*           Bbm*              F   Bb F
Life's fuckin' long 'til it stops, and God's fuckin' fake 'til He's not

Verse 5
F*               C*             Dm*
Now it's late, I really gotta go
    G7*                                  C7*
And we can't face our feelings, so we're makin' lots of jokes
    Bb            F            Dm*      C*       Bb*
And we won't cry about it, no, we'll be manly men
   Bb                   F           Dm*        C*     Bb*
"I love you" sounds all corny, so I wrote this song instead
     Gm*                        C*     A7/C#*  Dm  C
I'll sing it for you, Dad, when you get out of bed
     Gm*               C*               F   Bb F
I'll sing for you when you're out of bed
