Intro: C majorC
G+G D MajorD G+G
Mother I need to talk to you
A minorAm G/BG/B C majorC
There's something that you need to know
G+G D MajorD G+G
I'm just gonna spit it out
A minorAm G/BG/B C majorC
You probably guessed it years ago
DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb
Still it's kinda hard to say A minorAm
G minorGm FF Eb MajorEb C majorC
It's something that I've spent so long not saying
DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb
Sometimes it's on the tip on my tongue
A minorAm G minorGm FF Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb C majorC
But only spoken aloud, alone while I'm praying
G+G D MajorD G+G
All I ask is an open-mind
A minorAm G/BG/B C majorC
It's such a lonely bridge to cross
G+G D MajorD G+G
I've searched for answers on my own
A minorAm G/BG/B C majorC
And find that I'm completely lost
DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb A minorAm G minorGm FF
Eb MajorEb C majorC DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb A minorAm G+G
