Mama, I understand your many sleepless nights
A#
When you're seat and you think about father
FGm7D#
Or how you tried to be the perfect wife
A#F
You used to dress and fix your hair
Gm7D#
Then you smiled through your tears
A#F
In the mirror you would stare
Gm7
And say a prayer, like:
D#A#
I wish he said "I'm beautiful"
F
I wish it didn't hurt at all
Gm7
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
F
You took that ring off
Gm7
So tired of the lies and trying, fighting, crying
D#
Took that ring off
A#
Oh, now the fun begins
F
Dust yourself off and you love again
Gm7
You found a new man now you shine and you're fine
D#
Like it's my time, you took that ring off
A#FGm7
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
FGm7
That's so so proud you took the high road
D#
You're so sexy
A#F
You used to dress and fix your hair
Gm7D#
Then you smiled through your tears
A#F
In the mirror you would stare
Gm7
And say a prayer, like:
D#A#
I wish he said "I'm beautiful"
F
I wish it didn't hurt at all
Gm7
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
F
You took that ring off
Gm7
So tired of the lies and trying, fighting, crying
D#
Took that ring off
A#
Oh, now the fun begins
F
Dust yourself off and you love again
Gm7
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
F
After all that pain's all clear
Gm7
Mama, after all them years
D#
We can start all over again
A#
Mama, and now it all makes sense
F
Letting go is never the end
Gm7
Mama, we can love again
D#
This is where freedom begins
A#
Mama, so put your love on top
F
You gon' shine and put your love on top
Gm7
It's your time to put your love on top
D#
Everybody put your love on top
A#

F
Aye, love on top
Gm7

D#
