FF
Oh, I am a girl, the forgettable face
C majorC FF
And no matter my colour, no matter my name
C majorC FF Csus4-F
At work there is a boy and he treats me well
C majorC FF C majorC FF
My old friends from high school, I see them around
C majorC FF
Well, August is here, I can't believe how fast
C majorC FF
Soon there will be winter and snow on the ground
A minorAm FF
Maybe by then I could get my own place
C majorC FF
Closer to the city, if that's okay
G+G A minorAm
But Mama, can you hear me?
FF C majorC
As I dragged on my day's last cigarette
G+G A minorAm
He pulled me so hard
FF C majorC
Off my very own back door steps
G+G A minorAm
And he laid me in his garden
FF C majorC
All the years I've watched him tend
G+G A minorAm
And he took me, Mama
FF C majorC
So I could never tell you about it
INTERLUDE: A minorAm G+G FF C majorC
FF
And inside of this moment there are things I wish I could know
C majorC FF
Like your ring size and my ring size and the hour I was born
A minorAm FF
And my dad's middle name and your favourite song
C majorC FF
Was your darkest day as dark as this one?
G+G A minorAm
Mama, can you hear me?
FF C majorC
As I dragged on my day's last cigarette
G+G A minorAm
He pulled me so hard
FF C majorC
Off my very own back door steps
G+G A minorAm
And he laid me in his garden
FF C majorC
All the years I've watched him tend
G+G A minorAm
And then he took me, Mama
FF C majorC
So I could never tell you about it
FF C majorC
Now I'm a girl who's face they'll never forget
INTERLUDE:
A minorAm G+G FF
Oh ooh oh ohhh
A minorAm G+G FF
Oh ooh oh ohhh
A minorAm G+G FF
Oh ooh oh ohhh
