_ _ _ A mother's love is hard to be It'll [G] never let you go, no matter what you
[D] choose to be It broke her _ heart to set me free
I am her and she is me Mama [G] went to church and taught me how to [D] love
While daddy went to work, he hasn't slowed down much
She taught me [G] how to tie shoes, she taught me how to tie a knot
[D] Now _ I'm sitting here missing mama's sweet tea and daddy's shine
A _ _ _ _ father's word is one of the only sounds That can [G] build you up, or it can [D] break you
down It took some time, [G] but now I [D] finally see
I am him and he is me Mama [G] went to church and taught me [D] how to love
While daddy went to work, he hasn't slowed [G] down [D] much
She taught me how to [G] tie shoes, [G] she taught me how to tie a knot
Now [D] I'm sitting here missing [G] mama's sweet tea and [D] daddy's shine _ _ _
[Em] Sometimes [G] love ain't built [D] to last _ _
[Em] When [G] you're young and move too [D] fast
[C] Even though [G] I know it [D] wasn't meant to be It still changed [C] everything
_ A child's love is pure and blind And mine has stood the test of time
Cause since the day I came to be I've [A] loved you [D] like you've loved me
Mama went to church and taught me how to love
While daddy went to work, he hasn't slowed [G] down much
She taught me how to tie shoes, she taught me how to tie [D] a knot
Now I'm sitting here missing [G] mama's sweet tea and daddy's shine
They taught me how to get through, but I leave the past behind
[Em] So _ [C] now I'm sitting here [B] sipping mama's sweet tea and [G] daddy's shine _ _ _ _ _ _ _
