Capo 2
Intro: Am/ C/ G (x2)
Am C G
She was so young with such innocent eyes
Am C G
She always dreamt of a fairytale life
Am C G
And all the things that your money can't buy
Am C E
She thought that he was a wonderful guy
Am C G
Then suddenly, things seemed to change
Am C G
It was the moment she took on his name
Am C G
He took his anger out on her face
Am C G E
She kept all of her pain locked away
Am C
Oh mother, we're stronger
G
From all of the tears you have shed
Am C
Oh mother, don't look back
G
'Cause he'll never hurt us again
Am C
So mother, I thank you
G
For all you've done and still do
Am C
You got me, I got you
Am C G
Together we always pull through
E
We always pull through
G
We always pull through
C E
Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother
Am C G
It was the day that he turned on his kids
Am C G
That she knew she just had to leave him
Am C G
So many voices inside of her head
E
Saying over and over and over,
G C
"You deserve much more than this."
Am C G
She was so sick of believing the lies and trying to hide
E
Covering the cuts and bruises (cuts and bruises)
Am C
So tired of defending her life, she could have died
G
Fighting for the lives of her children
Am C
Oh mother, we're stronger
G
From all of the tears you have shed
Am C
Oh mother, don't look back
G
'Cause he'll never hurt us again
Am C
So mother, I thank you
G
For all you've done and still do
Am C
You got me, I got you
Am C G
Together we always pull through
E
We always pull through
G
We always pull through
C E
Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother
A
All of your life you have spent
G C
Burying hurt and regret
Am E
But mama, he'll never touch us again
A
For every time he tried to break you down
G C
Just remember who's still around
Am C
It's over, and we're stronger
E G
And we'll never have to go back again
Am C
Oh mother, we're stronger
G
From all of the tears you have shed
Am C
Oh mother, don't look back
G
'Cause he'll never hurt us again
Am C
So mother, I thank you
G
For all you've done and still do
Am C
You got me, I got you
Am C G
Together we always pull through
E
We always pull through
G
We always pull through
C E
Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother
End on Am
