|(G) / / / |(C) / / - - -

(Verse 1)
(G) I bet you could've used a (C)minute
(Em) Just a little time a-(D)lone
(G) But you let me be your little (C)shadow
(Em) Following wherever you would (D) go
(G) Then I got a little (C)older
(Em) And you gave me space (D) to grow
(G) I don't ever seem to (C)tell you enough but
(Em) I want you to (D)know

(Chorus)
When (C)God made you my (D)mother
(Em)He knew who I'd (D)need
When he (C)picked you from the (D)others
He could (Em)already (D)see
That (C)you would be my (D)hero
And every-(Em)thing I want to (D)be
When (C)God madе you my (D)mother
He was (Em)being (D)good to (G)mе - - -

(Verse 2)
(G) I come to you with all my (C)secrets
(Em) And you never, ever (D) judge
(G) And when I'm falling in my (C)weakness
(Em) You give me strength to stand back (D) up
(G) No amount of miles could sepa-(C)rate us
(Em) No place where I don't feel (D)your love
(G)You say I'm the gift that heaven (C)gave you
(Em) But I'm the lucky (D) one

(Chorus) 
When (C)God made you my (D)mother
(Em)He knew who I'd (D)need
When he (C)picked you from the (D)others
He could (Em)already (D)see
That (C)you would be my (D)hero
And every-(Em)thing I want to (D)be
When (C)God madе you my (D)mother
He was (Em)being (D)good to (G)mе / / / |(C) / / / |(Em) / / / |(D) / /

(Outro.)
If (C)I'm ever a (D)mother
I (Em)wanna be like (D)you
If he (C)picks me from the (D)others
I'm going to (Em)try to fill your (D)shoes
'Cause (C)mama you're my (D)hero
And every-(Em)thing I want to (D)be
When (C)God made you My (D)Mother
He was (Em)being (D)good to (G)me / / / |(C) / / / |(Em) / /
Yeah, He was (D)being good to me (G) - - - - -
