[B] [G#m]
[C#m] Mama, she has taught me well, [B] told me [G#m] when I was young.
[C#m] Son, your life's an open book, [B] don't close it when [G#m] it's done.
[D#] [C#m] The brightest flame burns quickest, [B] and that's what I heard her [G#m] say.
[C#m] Suns out so together, [B] but I must [G#m] find my way.

[F#] heart go,
[C#m] [B] let your [E] sun [F#] grow.

[C#m] I took your love for granted, no [B] more things you said to [G#m] me.
[C#m] I need your arms, welcome me, [B] hold still, [G#m] for I see you.
Let my [F#] heart go,
