Capo 3

    D                D/F#  G             D
You always had my back,    every time I'd fall
     Bm                             A
From busted knees to broken hearts, we've been through it all
    D                           D/F#     G              D 
You made me walk the line every time I'm coming off the track
   D              A              A
My mothers always been my better half


From my first shoe you tied, to my first night in jail
You walked me through, hand in hand, the rainbows and the hell
They say I got your eyes, I say I got more than that
My mothers always been my better half

Chorus:
              A                G 
Slow down the drinkin' and lay down those cigarettes
                 A                  G
You better start thinkin' about the things you will regret
                D                G               D
And find a good woman, maybe get lucky like your dad
   Bm             A              D
My mothers always been my better half


You bought me my guitar for better grades in school
And I took it off to college, then I took it for a tool
Now the name that you gave is now my autograph
My mothers always been my better half

CHORUS

My mothers always been my better half
