Mother of God Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C][G]
[C]All you kids get out the back door
I've [F]never seen her this bad
before
She took all her favorite things [C]down from
the window
And broke 'em all [G]over her clean floor

[Verse 2]
It's [C]Saturday [G]at the [C]mansion
[F]The oldest boy walks with
a slouch
The young ones are wild in
[C]back of the house
And she [G]gave up and went back
to [C]sleep on the couch
[F]Something as simple as boys

[Verse 3]
and girls
[C]Gets tos[G]sed all around and
then lost in the [Am]world
[F]Something as hard
as a prayer on your back
[C]Can wait a [G]long time for
[Am]an answer
[C][F]
[G][C]

[Verse 4]
When I was little I'd stare at her picture
And [F]talk to the mother of
God
I swear sometimes [C]I'd see her lips move
Like she was trying to
[G]say something to me
When I [C]was eighteen I moved

[Verse 5]
to Florida,
[F]Like everyone sick of the cold does,
And I waited on old people [C]waiting to die
I [G]waited on them until [C]I was
[F]Something as simple as boys and girls

[Verse 6]
[C]
Gets [G]tossed all around and then lost
in the [Am]world
[F]Something as hard as a prayer
on your back
[C]Can wait a [G]long time for [Am]an answer
[C]
[F][C]
[G][C]
[F][G]
[C]

[Verse 7]
So I'm wearing my footsteps
into this floor
[F]One day I won't live here
anymore
Someone will wonder who
lived here be[C]fore
And went [G]on their way
I live [C]too many

[Verse 8]
miles from the ocean
And [F]I'm getting older and odd
I get up every morning with a
[C]black cup of coffee
And I [G]talk to [C]the mother of God
[F]Something as simple as boys

[Verse 9]
and girls
[C]Gets tos[G]sed all around and
then lost in the [Am]world
[F]Something as hard as a prayer
on your back
Can wait a [G]long time for an answer
[Am]Can wait a long time for an answer
