[Intro 1]
[G][C][Csus2][G]
[C][Csus2][G][Em][C][G]

[Verse 1]
There's [G]a letter
to your mother that is hidden in my desk
That I [Csus2]wro te to he[C]r in a sober[Csus2] mind[G]
[C]It's [Csus2]my apolog[C]y for all[G]
the things I used to be
[Em]And swearing I'll [Csus2]change over ti[G]me
She might not believe me cause
no one ever does
Except her [Csus2]daughter that loves [C]me [G]true
God for[Csus2]bid all it takes for a[G] boy
to finally wake is to
[Em]Be cherished [C]and loved
all the [G]way through

[Verse 2]
She [G]lets me drink my liquor when I'm
singing through the night
She [Csus2]slaps my [C]hand when it's
too [Csus2]much[G]
She's [Csus2]mean and she's kind
[G]Strong and divine
And Lord [Em]only [Csus2]knows how[G] tough

[Verse 3]
So dear [Em]miss by [C]the time [G]you see this
It'll be in love or it'll [C]be in [Em]vain
So may God [C]bless and [G]keep us
May you think kind [C]of [Em]my[G][Csus2]
[G][Csus2][G]
[Em]name[C][G]

[Verse 4]
And I know I've had my days
and I've made my mistakes
So please [C]point me to the
nearest perfect [G]man
I'll [C]gladly take advice
from [G]a man with no vice
If [Em]it means I can [C]hold [G]your hand

[Verse 5]
She [G]was raised up proper
and I was raised up
With a [C]poor working [G]boys heart
[C]The way [Csus2]the light is bleeding
on [G]her smiling cheeks
This evening is [Em]the finest of [C]worlds [G]fine art

[Verse 6]
[G]
So dear [Em]miss by [C]the time [G]you see this
I'll be in love or it'll [C]be in [Em]vain
So may God [C]bless and [G]keep us
May you think kind [C]of [Em]my name

[Interlude 1]

[G][Csus2][G]
[Em][C][G]

[Verse 7]
And she's [G]standing in the doorway
rambling on about my old ways
How [C]they were reckless and [G]free
[C]How all my imperfections
and [G]every ugly lesson
Is worth [Em]every last [C]second with me
