(Verse)
She'll (C)take you in, feed your friends, her (G)open arms are welcoming
She'll (Am)rub your back all night when you're (F)crying
She'll (C)listen to you tell your story, (G)hold your fear and all your worries
(Am)Help you find the truth when they're all (F)lying
(Am)Even when it's (G)hopeless, she keeps (F) trying
(Chorus)
She's your (C)mother, you love her
There (G)won't be another (Am)place like her again (G)you call (F) home
She (C)stands here to help you, there's (G)nothing she won't do
As (Am)long as she's alive, (G)you're not a-(F)lone,
You've got each (F)other, that's your (C)mother
(Verse)
She (C)fixes all the broken things
When (G)you're in love, she's got a ring to (Am)give to you, she hopes (G)you'll give a-(F)way
She (C)don't care who you give it to (G)where they're from, if they pray like you
As (Am)long as they are (G)good to you, that's (F)enough
(Am)First thing she (G)taught you was love is (F) love
(Chorus)
She's your (C)mother, you love her
There (G)won't be another (C)place like her again that (G)you call (F) home
She (C)stands here to help you, there's (G)nothing she won't do
As (Am)long as she's a-(G)live, you're not a-(F)lone,
You've got (F)each other and that's your (C) mother
(Bridge)
When you (Em)fail her, when you're a-(Am)fraid
And (F)crying in the careless mess you've (G)made
She'll make you (Em) clean it up yourself and (Am)offer you a little help
And (F)dry your weary eyes when you (G)let her
But she'll (F)look at you and know you can do better - - -
(Chorus)
She's your (C)mother, you love her
There (G)won't be another (Am)place like her again that you call (F) home
She (C)stands here to help you, there's (G)nothing she won't do
As (Am)long as she's alive, (G)you're not a-(F)lone
And the (Am)secrets in your (G)heart she's always (F) known
(Outro.)
She's a (C)beacon, a harbour, a (G)lighthouse, her armour
A (Am)promise and a (F)blanket when it's (F)colder
You'll (Am)understand it (G)more when you get (F) older
You've got each (F)other, and that's your (C) mother
You've got each (F)other, and that's your (C) mother |(G) / / / |(Am) / (G) / |(F) - - - - -
