[E] [B]
[Abm] [Gb] [B]
Holy Mother, [E] where [B] are you?
[Abm] Tonight I [Gb] feel broken [B] in two
I've seen the stars [E] fall from [B] the sky
[Abm] Holy Mother, [Gb] can't keep [B] from crying
[E] Oh, I need [B] your help this time
[Abm] Get me through [Gb] this [B] lonely night
[E] Tell me [B] please, which way is [Abm] right?
Find myself [Gb] again
[B] Holy Mother, [E] [B] hear my [Abm]
prayer
Somehow I [Gb] know you're [B] still there
Send me please [E] some peace [B] of [Abm] mind
[Gb] Take away [B] this pain
I [E] can't wait
[Ebm]
[Dbm] [E] In [B] your arms
I [E] can't wait
I [Ebm] can't wait
[Abm] [E] for you
[B] Holy Mother, [E] hear [B] my cry
[Abm] I've cursed your [Gb] name a thousand [B] times
I felt the anger [E] run through [B] my soul
[Abm] All I need is [Gb] a [B] hand to hold
[E] What I feel, [Ebm] the end has come
[Abm] No longer [Gb] powerless [B] but one
[E] You know how [B] proud I'll [Abm] be
In your arms [Gb] tonight
[B] When my hands [E] no [B] longer play
[Abm] My voice is [Gb] still a fading [B] way
Holy Mother, [E] there [B] I'll be
[Abm] Now and in, [E] [Gb] straight with you [B] Forever
