Mother Chords by Matt Maltese

Capo 1

[Verse 1]
A
I don't wanna make a big scene
              F#m
I just need a moment lying on this street
                        D
If your lungs stop, you die
                         Dm
If you lose love, that's life
             A
What a blue sky
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
A
All my friends, they miss you a lot
            F#m
I know your father probably hates my guts
                   D
When a lover cuts ties
                  Dm
Other people get caught
          A
In the crossfire
 
 
[Chorus]
A   Bm   C#m    Bm       D
And yesterday I told my mother
                                                A
You'll learn to love again, I know she was the daughter
          C#m                                   D
You never had, and I know sometimes you might miss her
                                                 A
But I know the years can heal, and if there is another
              E                             A
Maybe you'll love them in the same way you loved her
 
 
[Verse 2]
A
Tuesday with your wet hair and curls
           F#m
Wearing pajamas in the outside world
                       D
Couldn't look in your eyes
                     Dm
When you got in your car
                A
And started to drive
 
 
[Chorus]
A   Bm   C#m    Bm       D
And yesterday I told my mother
                                                A
You'll learn to love again, I know she was the daughter
          C#m                                   D
You never had, and I know sometimes you might miss her
                                                 A
But I know the years can heal, and if there is another
              E                             D
Maybe you'll love them in the same way you loved her
 
 
[Outro]
D D F#m C#m
D D F#m C#m
 
                       D
And tomorrow I'll stay mother
                                             A
You'll learn to love again I know you wanna write her
            C#m                                D
You never thought you'd go and grow up into another
                                              A
You didn't birth but that's the joy of human nature
               E                             A
Some people stumble into your heart for all time
