Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][C][G][C][G]
[C]Mama,

[Verse 1]
[C]
I see your [Em]face now in [Dm]the mirror
It's getting [F]clear[Am]er[C][G]
[C]Daddy, all those things I
[Em]said I wouldn't do
I've [Dm]been drawn to 'cause
I [F]looked up to [G]you[Em]
And I've [Am]loved you through
this [G]tangled legacy
[F]Tracing the twisted roots of our family tre[G]e

[Verse 2]
I stayed [C]strong [F]like you[C] did
I moved [Em]on l[F]ike you [G]did[C]
[Am]And I wo[C]und [Am]up tough
as stone [F]like you did
If I don't [C]learn to bend I [F]know
I'm going [G]to break
Like [C]you did
[G][C][G]

[Verse 3]
[C]Lover, I must for[Em]give you
I con[Dm]fused you with [F]what I
couldn't [G]see in[C]side of me
Dark [Em]things pulling, not [Dm]evolving
It made a [F]puppet out of [Em]me
And you [Am]came with your [G]own [Em]history
[F]Both caught in the branches
of our [G]family tree

[Verse 4]
I stayed [C]strong [F]like you[C] did
I moved [Em]on l[F]ike you did[G]
And I [Am]wound up all alone like [F]you did
If I don't [C]learn to bend,
I [F]know I'm gonna [G]break just [Am]like you did
[G]

[Verse 5]
[Em]
[Am]I love you but I need to look
at who we've been
Take the fruit but choose the seeds
I scatter in the wind
That's [Dm]the job of the kid: to do [Em]better
[Am]than[C] our parents did[F]

[Verse 6]
[F]
So I'll stay [Em]strong [C]lik[F]e you did[C]
And I'll move [Em]on l[F]ike you did[G]
But I [Am]won't hide from
the truth [F]like you did
I'm [C]learning to bend
[F]so I won't bre[G]ak
And you can [C]bet I'll teach my [F]child
that love [Am]will [Em]al ways find a [G]way
just [F]like [C]you did

[Outro 1]
