[Intro 1]
[G][Bb][F][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Mother,
can you hold me together?
It's so [Bb]dark and I'm [F]losing [G]my way
I took all of these detours to find love
But when I [Bb]did, it just [F]faded [G]away

[Verse 2]
[G]
Now [Em]what do I [G]do with this
[C]sweet love [G]of mine?
Do I [Em]give it [G]away and hope
[F]someday [C]I'll fin[Dm]d
Someone [G]half as [Am]awake as
[G]the moon [C]and the stars
Mother, [F]teach me [Em]to lo[C]ve
with a paper-thin [G]heart

[G]Mother,

[Verse 3]
your words are so healing
You speak of [Bb]love and of
[F]light an[G]d of peace
But I've made it my course to avoid you
Just to [Bb]hide from these [F]feelings [G]of grief

[Verse 4]
Now [Em]what do I [G]do with this
[C]sweet love of [G]mine?
Do I [Em]give it [G]away and hope
[F]someday [C]I'll [Dm]find
Someone [G]half as [Am]awake as
[G]the moon and the [C]stars
Mother, [F]teach me [Em]to lo[C]ve
with a paper-th[G]in heart

Now [Em]what do I [G]do with this

[F]someday [C]I'll fin[Dm]d
Someone [G]half as [Am]awake as
the [G]moon and [C]the stars

[Verse 6]
[G]Mother, I know you are with me
You were [Bb]there when I [F]took
my [G]first breath
I can't stop looking back for the answers
I just [Bb]keep coming [F]up with re[G]gret
There are [Bb]some things I [F]just can't [G]forget
