(Non Capo)

(Intro.)
|(F) /(C)  / |(G) /(Am)  / |(F) /(C)  / |(G) / / / |

(Verse 1)
(F)Lord I swear (C)my mama’s prayer have
(G)Saved me more than (Am) once
The (F)sky could fall, and (C)I’d never know
‘Cause (G)she would hold it (Am)up

(Verse 2)
(F)Losing sleep (C)each breath she breathed
She (G)did it all for (Am)us
But what (F)happens to (C)mama
When the (G)kids grow up?

(Chorus)
There’s (F)something in the (C)water
Between a (G)mother and a (Am)daughter
No (F)matter where I’m (C)going
I’m (G)never leaving (Am)you
You (F)gave me your (C)light
Now it’s (G)your time to (Am)shine
And the (F)more that I am (C)growing
You (G)don’t know what to (Am)do
So don’t you (F)cry ma-(C)ma
This is a (G)good prob-(Am)lem
Your (F)past ain’t your (C)purpose, no (G)
You’re only scratching the (F)surface (C)
(G) (Am)Oh and you deserve (F) it (C) (G) (Am)

(Verse 3)
(F)Can't believe, (C)just 23
With a (G)kid of your (Am)own
And (F)all the years, (C) the love, the tears
It's (G)all you've ever (Am)known
(F)Selfish ain't a (C)word that (G)ever fit (Am)you well
But (F)now it's your (C)turn
So (G)go and give 'em hell

(Chorus)
There’s (F)something in the (C)water
Between a (G)mother and a (Am)daughter
No (F)matter where I’m (C)going
I’m (G)never leaving (Am)you
You (F)gave me your (C)light
Now it’s (G)your time to (Am)shine
And the (F)more that I am (C)growing
You (G)don’t know what to (Am)do
So don’t you (F)cry ma-(C)ma
This is a (G)good prob-(Am)lem
Your (F)past ain’t your (C)purpose no
No, (G) you’re only scratching the (F)surface (C) (G)
(Am) Oh, and you de-(F)serve it /(C)  / |(G) / /

(Bridge)
Every (F)mountain I've (C)climbed
Was a (G)mountain you (Am)moved
No (F)doubt in my mind
I'm (G)me because of (Am)you
And there's (G)nothing you (F)can't do - - -

(Chorus)
So don’t you (F)cry ma-(C)ma
This is a (G)good prob-(Am)lem
Your (F)past ain’t your (C)purpose no
No, (G) you’re only scratching the (F)surface (C) (G)
(Am)Oh, and you de-(F)serve it (C) (G) - - -

(Outro.)
(F)Lord, I swear (C)my mama's prayers
(G)Saved me more than once - - - - -
