The Rooms My Mother Made Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]She[Em] said[G] y[Em]our coat isn't[G]
new but it's [Em]gonna be clean
[G]Stand up straight and [Em]say
what you mean
[C]Look at me when
I'm [D]talking to you,
I'm talking [G]to [Em]you
I might [G]work like a dog,
I might [Em]swear like a sailor
[G]Loved her and fought her and
[Em]sometimes failed her
Al[C]ways come [D]home to the
rooms my mother [G]made
Don't be [C]afraid to look
be[D]hind you and
[Em]Take what's worth tak[A]ing
[Em]Leave what leaves,
[A]leaving behin[C]d[Dsus4]
[G]I washed the newborn,
held [Em]hands with the dying
[G]Howled with a laughing
and braced [Em]the grieving
[C]So much to gain and so [D]much
to [G]lose on the [Em]way
But I was [G]born to be a woman
and proud to [Em]be so
[G]Glad that
I've learned what
I've [Em]needed to know
But I al[C]ways come [D]home to the
rooms my mother [G]made
Don't be [C]afraid to look
be[D]hind you and
[Em]Take what's worth taking
[A]Lea[Em]ve what needs l[A]eaving behind[C]
[Dsus4][G][Em][G][Em][C][Dsus4][D][G]
Don't be [C]afraid to look be[D]hind you
and [Em]take what's worth tak[A]ing
[Em]Leave at me, [A]leave and be [C]high[Dsus4]
Now [G]when I stand up, I can [Em]stand up strong
I can [G]burn like a coal, I can [Em]say what I mean
I can [C]cradle my lover's
head [D]like a treasure
[C]Whisper something fear[D]lessly tender
I [Em]always come [A]home, al[Em]ways come [A]home
Al[Em]ways come [C]home to the room[D]s my
[G]mother [Em]made[G][Em][C][Dsus4][D][G]
You
