Intro:

Am Em F C


Verse 1:
Em                  C
I can't believe you love me
                          Am
After all the things i've done
C
I think i've been the devil
          Em
Since the day that i've turned one

F
Like when I stole your money

Just to buy a pack of gum
  C
I know it wasn't funny
C
Can't believe I was so dumb


Pre Chorus:
  Am
I blame it on my age
                  Bm
But even now, I'm not so young
    Em
I'm still stuck in my ways

I cant believe what I've become


    F
Somehow, you feel the same
                             C
I guess that's motherly love
         Em
Motherly love


Chorus:
Am
Wish I could find the piece in me
Em
To see the good things that you see
F             C
It's not that easy

                             Am
But if I saw me through your eyes
                     Em
Maybe I could find a way
                      F
To forgive all of the lies
                        C
And the stupid things I say


Em                Am
And if I could realize
                            Em
That it's your blood that I bleed
                     F
Maybe I could love myself
                           C
Like the way that you love me


         Em         C    Am
If I saw me through your eyes
     Em
Your eyes
             F
Through your eyes
           C        Em
Through my mother's eyes


Verse 2:
        C
I can't believe you love me
                             Am
After all the things I've did
            Em
Like when I said I hated you when we were in Madrid
     F
Like when I didn't answer you cause I was on the road
        C                                      Em
But you cooked my favorite dinner for me right when I get home


Pre Chorus:
Am
I blame it on my stress
                Bm
Cause I've been feeling so high strung
    Em
I'm looking for excuses

And I know that isn't one

    F
Somehow, you feel the same
                            C
I guess that's motherly love
         Em
Motherly love


Chorus:
Am
Wish I could find the piece in me
Em
To see the good things that you see
F
It's not that easy


C            NC              Am
But if I saw me through your eyes
                     Em
Maybe I could find a way
                      F
To forgive all of the lies
                        C
And the stupid things I say


       Em C
And if I could realize
                            Em
That it's your blood that I bleed
                   F
Maybe I could love myself
                           C
Like the way that you love me


Bridge:
         Em              Am
If I saw me through your eyes
     Em
Your eyes
             F
Through your eyes
C
Through my mother's eyes
           Bb C
Through my mother's eyes
F       C        G
Through my mother's eyes
           C  G     Am
Through my mother's eyes

Am F C


Chorus:
C                            Am
But if I saw me through your eyes
                     Em
Maybe I could find a way
                      F
To forgive all of the lies
                        C
And the stupid things I say


       Em         Am
And if I could realize
                            Em
That it's your blood that I bleed
                     F
Maybe I could love myself
                           C
Like the way that you love me


     Em                  Am
If I saw me through your eyes
     Em
Your eyes
             Am
Through your eyes
F       C           Em
Through my mother's eyes
