the side [E] of the temple, she was smiling.
[B] And [F#] she asked me a question that I proudly [B] answered.
[E] [B] She said, son, did you take [E] time to know her?
[B] I [F#] said, mama, she [B]
was.
But today it hurts me, sir, to [E] go back to mama and say,
mama, [F#]
I'm getting divorced.
[B] Oh, I'm getting divorced.
[F#]
These choices I [E] made,
didn't work [E] out the way I thought it would.
[F#]
These [E] choices I made.
[B]
I say,
[F#]
these [E] choices I [F#] made,
didn't work out the way I thought it would.
These [E] choices I [B]
made,
mama said to me.
It's not easy,
[E] [B] I'm not gonna [F#] be a kid again.
[C#m] You'll be happy, [B] I'm not.
It's not easy,
to [E] understand these thoughts.
I'm not [B] gonna be a kid again.
You'll be [C#m] happy, [B] I'm not.
It's not easy,
to [E] understand these thoughts.
I'm not [B] gonna be a kid again.
You'll be happy, I'm not.
I remember in church,
[E] where the preacher met.
[F#] You looked so beautiful,
so [B] beautiful and so innocent.
I did not know that,
[E] behind that beauty,
lies the truth [B]
[F#] that will destroy me,
[C#m] if I [B] let you through.
[F#]
These [E] choices I made,
[F#]
didn't work out the [E] way I thought it would.
These [E] choices [B] I made,
I say,
[F#]
these choices I made,
didn't work out [E] the way I thought it would.
[F#]
Not again.
[E] [B]

[F#]
[B]
I remember when I held you by the [E] hand,
preaching the wrath of scriptures,
and [F#]
putting words [G#m] in your [B] mouth.
Maybe what that preacher meant to [E] say,
was not something that was [B] within you.
[F#]
Now I wonder more than you when [B] they say,
beautiful mind,
is another [E] man's plaything.
[B] [F#] Oh,
I remember when I held you by the hand,
and put words [B] in your mouth.
I [F#] say,
these choices [E] I made,
didn't work out the way I thought it would.
These choices I [B] made,
I say,
[F#]
these choices I made,
didn't work out the way I thought it would.
Now I'm hurt.
[B]
Mama said to me,
just to [E] understand,
Lord I hope you'll [F#] make it,
Lord I know you have [B] to understand.
Mama said to me,
just to [E] understand,
Lord I hope you'll [F#]
make it,
Lord I know you [G#] have to [B]
understand.
Mama said to me,
Mama said to [E] me,
Mama said to [F#] me,
[B]
Mama said to me,
Mama said to [E] me.
