Submitted by: Lorie

CAPO: 1st FRET

INTRO: F C F C G C


VERSE:
 F
Riding in the backseat, sipping on a Pepsi
  G                                             C
Looking out the window, driving to the bus stop  together
            F
I tell her only three sleeps and I'll be right back
     G                                               C
And then we're gonna have a good time when I come to get her

PRE-CHORUS:
       Am             F
And I call her every single night
      C              G
I'll miss her every day
       Am                 F
And if she kissed me and waved goodbye
C                 G
I could hear her say


CHORUS:
         Am    F
Stay at home, mother
         C
Stay at home
         Am    F
Stay at home, mother
         C
Stay at home


VERSE:
           F
I've been working late nights making up for the times
        G                                        C
That I wasn't in the crowd cheering out loud at her school plays
  F
Tickets to a circus, maybe a new bike
        G                                           C
I just want her to know that I love her more than working all day


PRE-CHORUS:
         Am                F
But the price will never measure up
    C               G
To what's inside a box
        Am                    F
While I run along around the world
     C           G
She tells me to stop


CHORUS:
         Am    F
Stay at home, mother
         C
Stay at home
         Am    F
Stay at home, mother
         C
Stay at home


PRE-CHORUS / CHORUS:
Am                          F
We could play house and pretend
        C                   G
That tomorrow you won't be gone
         Am    F
Stay at home, mother
         C   Am F C   Am F C
Stay at home


BRIDGE:
   F
I wish some things were different
          G
Doesn't change one memory
 F
My little girl grew up
             G
While I was too busy to see
      F
That she's become the one thing
     G
That I could never be


CHORUS:
         Am    F
Stay at home, mother
         C
Stay at home
         Am    F
Stay at home, mother
         C
Stay at home


PRE-CHORUS / CHORUS:
 Am                         F
She could have a house and couple kids
     C                  G
And never have to be involved
              Am   F
As a stay at home mother
         Am   F
Stay at home mother
         Am  F C
Stay at hoooooome
