Mama, I understand your many sleepless nights
A
When you're seat and you think about father
EF#m7D
Or how you tried to be the perfect wife
AE
You used to dress and fix your hair
F#m7D
Then you smiled through your tears
AE
In the mirror you would stare
F#m7
And say a prayer, like:
DA
I wish he said "I'm beautiful"
E
I wish it didn't hurt at all
F#m7
I don't know how I got here
D
I was once the one who had his heart
A
Until you had enough then you took that ring off
E
You took that ring off
F#m7
So tired of the lies and trying, fighting, crying
D
Took that ring off
A
Oh, now the fun begins
E
Dust yourself off and you love again
F#m7
You found a new man now you shine and you're fine
D
Like it's my time, you took that ring off
AEF#m7
Mama (so sexy), you live and learn, that's just the way life goes
D
(you're a killer, you're a killer)
A
Always know that you've got a daughter
EF#m7
That's so so proud you took the high road
D
You're so sexy
AE
You used to dress and fix your hair
F#m7D
Then you smiled through your tears
AE
In the mirror you would stare
F#m7
And say a prayer, like:
DA
I wish he said "I'm beautiful"
E
I wish it didn't hurt at all
F#m7
I don't know how I got here
D
I was once the one who had his heart
A
Until you had enough then you took that ring off
E
You took that ring off
F#m7
So tired of the lies and trying, fighting, crying
D
Took that ring off
A
Oh, now the fun begins
E
Dust yourself off and you love again
F#m7
You found a new man now you shine and you're fine
D
Like it's my time, you took that ring off
A
After all your tears
E
After all that pain's all clear
F#m7
Mama, after all them years
D
We can start all over again
A
Mama, and now it all makes sense
E
Letting go is never the end
F#m7
Mama, we can love again
D
This is where freedom begins
A
Mama, so put your love on top
E
