Go [Am] [G] and tell [D] your mama _ [F#m] _ _

_ Her [Em] _ _ _ _ _
love will come [D] in _ handy, [F#m] _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
she's [D] always [F] been you _ [D] through _
_ _ _ _ _ _ But there's no one here [G] to guide you, [Dm] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ you got to do it by [G] _ _ _ [Em] _
yourself
_ _ [Cm] _ _ [C#] _ Minutes fail [G#] you [C] day by _ _ _ _ [G#] day, _ and there's really [C] nothing _ [G] _ _

_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ Go and [D] tell your daddy, _ _ _ _ _ [Am] she _ _ was right in [Em] what he [D] _ said
_ Cause _ _ [C] _ [Em] _ _ the laws [Am] of [F#m] _ independence _ _ _ _ [Am] don't _ _ _ apply until [F] you're [D] dead _ _ _
_ _ _ And [Bm] though you'd like him [G] here to push _ you, _ _
[Em] _ _ _ cause you feel a [G] need for _ _ help

_ _ _ [Em] _
How _ _ _ long must we [F] justify _ [G] _ _ when _ _ _ there's really nothing [E] _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ [Em] here _ _
_ [Am] It's the middle [D] of your [A] day, _ _ _ _ [Am] wake up to [C] the middle of your [D] day
