Verse:

     G    D       G
Your mama doesn't like me
                    D  C    Cmaj7
She thinks I'm a sorry man
          G        D         G
When she tells her friends about me
                  D  C    Cmaj7
She says I'm a sorry man
        G
And she asks you each day
D              G             D  C    Cmaj7
Why would you stay with a sorry man
           G
Well I was doing my best
     D            G                D  C
Just trying to impress, still a sorry man

Chorus:

D            G             C
And I've got news for your ma
        D        G    C
I'm the best she ever saw
D            G          C    D         Cadd9   D7sus2  Cmaj7 Em7/B G
No one could love your daughter like I do

Verse:

Gmaj9  G    D        G
  Your mama told you father
                  D  C
She said I'm a sorry man
      G       D      G
So he told me not to ever
     G    D    C
Come back here again
     G         D        G
So I told your dear old daddy
                   D    C
That he can't keep us apart
             G       D         G
Because it's you and not your parents
           D     C
Who can break my heart

Chorus:

D            G             C
And I've got news for your ma
        D        G    C
I'm the best she ever saw
D            G          C    D         Cadd9   D7sus2  Cmaj7 Em7/B G
No one could love your daughter like I do

Verse:

       G         D         G
Well I tried to tell your mama
             D        C
But I didn't want to fight
             G       D   G
Well they'll be the same tomorrow
                 D      C
So we're leaving here tonight
  G       D         G
Tomorrow they'll be waking
         D     C
To a sad sorry dawn
    G    D           G
And then they'll be sorry
                   D      C
When they see that we are gone

Chorus:

D            G             C
And I've got news for your ma
        D        G    C
I'm the best she ever saw
D            G          C    D         Cadd9   D7sus2  Cmaj7 Em7/B G
No one could love your daughter like I do
