Verse:
G 	                        Cadd9
She was always in the kitchen before the sun came up
Em7 	        D 	           Cadd9
To get us fed, to get us dressed, and get us on the bus
G 	  	  	             Cadd9
Another day of working late to get us in the bed by nine
Em7                 D 	                  Cadd9
Another night we’d wonder why you were gone with no goodbye
Am 	 G            C 
Its been almost 20 years ago
      Am 	        G              C 	  	 D
Since you ran out and left us on our own

Chorus:
         Cadd9 D   G
And not a day goes by
             Cadd9   D                G
That I don’t try to make sense out of all of this
       Cadd9 D   G
Why you never called
        Cadd9              D 	                 G
Or came around at all and raise your kids like mama did
           Cadd9            D 	  	  	  G 	   G/F#     Em7
She didn’t work on cars or show off scars from a fight in some bar room
                 Cadd9             D              G 	  	 Cadd9
But when it came to me she was a better man than you

Verse:
G 	                              Cadd9
Yea she taught me how to tie my shoes and how to drive my truck
Em7 	                    D 	         Cadd9
She’d always know I was getting low and slide me 20 bucks
G 	                          Cadd9
I thought that I might see you on my graduation day
Em7 	              D 	                 Cadd9
But sure enough when I looked up it was just my mama’s face
Am 	                   G               C
I turned out fine but I coulda used your help
Am 	                       G           C 	  	 D
Man I don’t know how you’re living with yourself

Chorus:
         Cadd9 D   G
And not a day goes by
             Cadd9   D                G
That I don’t try to make sense out of all of this
       Cadd9 D   G
Why you never called
        Cadd9              D 	                 G
Or came around at all and raise your kids like mama did
           Cadd9            D 	  	  	  G 	   G/F#     Em7
She didn’t work on cars or show off scars from a fight in some bar room
                 Cadd9             D              G 	  	 Cadd9
But when it came to me she was a better man than you

Bridge:
     Am 	  	                 C    G
She filled the shoes you never wore when this world got me down
         Am               C                G
She was always there to pick me up when my feet weren’t on the ground
      Em                   D                   G   G/F#          Em7
She always said you can’t get ahead when you’re running from the truth
            Cadd9                 D 	  	   G
But when it came to me she was a better man than you
            Cadd9                 D 	  	   G
But when it came to me she was a better man than you

Cadd9 	 G
