Verse 1:

C           D        Bm         Em
Before your name was spoken out loud
C                 Am7           C              D
Papa was building pyramids that drank from the clouds
Bm              Em              C       Am7      Em
You were just a vision that she kept to herself
                            D
She talked of you to no one else

Chorus:

                      G* F* C
In your mother’s eyes
               G* F* C
You’re still a child in your mothers eyes
G                   Bm             C                  D
You know you can be good again you know there’s still time
                      G* F* C
In your mother’s eyes
    G* F* C
Mmm-mmm-mmm

Verse 2:

C                D         Bm            Em
Now you’ve grown older you walk hollowed ground
C              Am7            C                   D
You pardon the demons and you share your bed with doubt
       Bm             Em                  C    Am7    Em
Making deals with the mirrors, keeping so much inside
                            D
Some get out, but most will hide

You know you can be good again you know there’s still time
                      G* F* C
In your mother’s eyes
    G* F* C
Mmm-mmm-mmm
    G* F* C
Whoo-ooh-hoo
    G* F* C

Bridge:

D                  Em
Day by day you are drifting away
C                              Am7
But your heartstrings pull you back
D                          Em
Star by star, think you’ve travelled so far
C                                  D
But you’re going in circles on the track

G* F* C x8
