Verse 1:

E MajorE
It was Mother's Day
BB
When you came clean
C# minorC#m             BB       A augmentedA
We let the car run under the overpass like when we were teens

Verse 2:

E MajorE
You said it ground you down
BB
You said you made a mess
C# minorC#m                 BB         A augmentedA
You said your world was grey and the kids were the only colour that was left

Verse 3:

E MajorE
I think I spoke too soon
A augmentedA
I always hate it when you cry
C# minorC#m                 BB            A augmentedA
I should have told you then what I'm writing now, it kept me up all night

Chorus:

E MajorE
You're gonna be fine
BB
Mother's Day comes and goes
C# minorC#m             BB
Summer will be here soon to chase the chill away
A augmentedA
We'll chase regret out with the ghosts
E MajorE
You're gonna be fine
           BB
Give it some time and you'll see
         C# minorC#m
You'll have these East Coast springs
BB
Three headstrong kids
A augmentedA                 BB
You'll have Jesus and you'll have me
E MajorE
You're gonna be fine

Verse 4:

E MajorE
It was a parking lot
BB
Near that South Carolina dive
C# minorC#m        BB               A augmentedA
I came unglued, I freaked you out, let the bees out of the hive

Verse 5:

E MajorE
I let it go too long
BB
Long past the point of fun
C# minorC#m               BB
I hadn't gotten it all out of my system yet
      A augmentedA
I said I'd move on, I was done

Verse 6:

E MajorE
I think I spoke too soon
BB
I always hate to make you cry
C# minorC#m              BB
Like on Mother's Day when you told me again
      A augmentedA
Folks like us are never satisfied

Chorus:

E MajorE
But we're gonna be fine
A augmentedA
Just like you told me before
C# minorC#m            BB
Oh I can pick back up and get to work
     A augmentedA
Or I can walk right out the door
E MajorE
But I'm gonna be fine
A augmentedA
To Carolina to sea
C# minorC#m              BB
We'll have heads like hives on Mother's Day
       A augmentedA       BB
So thank you Jesus for the bees
E MajorE
We're gonna be fine
BB
On Mother's day
C# minorC#m      BB
Gonna be fine
A augmentedA      BB
On Mother's Day
E MajorE
I'm gonna be fine
