Mother's Day Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]It'[G]s m[C]oth[G]er's day[C],
I'm in an [G]airport alone
My [C]daughter sounds happy
on the [G]phone
I've had her [C]picture in
my head all [Em]day
A mother [D]wraps up her baby
and [C]walks away
She's asleep when [G]I get home
I [C]wake up before any[G]one
[C]Climb in her [G]bed with [Em]her
And [D]hold my body nex[C]t to [D]hers

[Verse 2]
Just [C]an ordin[D]ary day [G]hey [C]ay [G]I
[C]kiss her face when [G]she's awake
She [C]tells me about [G]yesterday
She [C]brings me the card she [G]made [Em]for me
[D]Molly & Bob on an [C]apple tree
And I pour her milk, [G]cook her eggs
[C]Make her lunch, [G]pack her bag
[C]Walk her to school, [G]kiss her good[Em]bye
She [D]runs inside [C]and start to [D]cry

[Verse 3]
[C]Just an ordinary [D]day
Just [G]an ordinary [C]day
An [Am]ordin[C] ary da[D]y he[G]y[C][G]
ay

[Verse 4]
And I [C]see that nanny [G]from Nepal and I [C]thank
her for the mother[G]'s day card
She's [C]bringing up someone [G]else's son
[Em]It's been four[D] years since
she's [C]seen her own
At 3, Molly's [G]back in my arms
And she [C]takes her ball and runs
[G]off with a friend
Some [C]bad kids try [G]to take it away
[Em]She [D]grabs it right back,
she's not [C]afraid[D]

[Verse 5]
Just an [C]ordinary [D]day
Just [G]an ordinary [C]day[Am]
[C]An ordinary day[D] hey ay[G][C][G]

[Verse 6]
[C]Later on, I [G]watch her sleep
That [C]same picture returns [G]to me
[C]6 years ago, Dec[G]ember day[Em]
A mother [D]wraps up her baby
and [C]walks away
[D]

[Verse 7]
Just [C]an ordin[D]ary

[Outro 1]
day hey ay ay
[G][C][G]
