Mama, I understand your many sleepless nights
F#
When you're seat and you think about father
C#D#m7B
Or how you tried to be the perfect wife
F#C#
You used to dress and fix your hair
D#m7B
Then you smiled through your tears
F#C#
In the mirror you would stare
D#m7
And say a prayer, like:
BF#
I wish he said "I'm beautiful"
C#
I wish it didn't hurt at all
D#m7
I don't know how I got here
B
I was once the one who had his heart
F#
Until you had enough then you took that ring off
C#
You took that ring off
D#m7
So tired of the lies and trying, fighting, crying
B
Took that ring off
F#
Oh, now the fun begins
C#
Dust yourself off and you love again
D#m7
You found a new man now you shine and you're fine
B
Like it's my time, you took that ring off
F#C#D#m7
Mama (so sexy), you live and learn, that's just the way life goes
B
(you're a killer, you're a killer)
F#
Always know that you've got a daughter
C#D#m7
That's so so proud you took the high road
B
You're so sexy
F#C#
You used to dress and fix your hair
D#m7B
Then you smiled through your tears
F#C#
In the mirror you would stare
D#m7
And say a prayer, like:
BF#
I wish he said "I'm beautiful"
C#
I wish it didn't hurt at all
D#m7
I don't know how I got here

C#
Dust yourself off and you love again
D#m7
You found a new man now you shine and you're fine
B
Like it's my time, you took that ring off
F#
After all your tears
C#
After all that pain's all clear
D#m7
Mama, after all them years
B
We can start all over again
F#
Mama, and now it all makes sense
C#
Letting go is never the end
D#m7
Mama, we can love again
B
This is where freedom begins
F#
Mama, so put your love on top
C#
