Verse 1:
FF         C majorC
January and the air is cold
     G+G          A minorAm    G+G     FF
It's been a while since I heard my mother's tone
           C majorC        G+G
Yet I know when I need her most
   A minorAm        G+G
She lends me her shoulder
  FF     C majorC         G+G
Carries my grief like hidden sin
          A minorAm       G+G     FF
Even through the times I wouldn't let her in
              C majorC         G+G
Now I'll never make the same mistake ever again

Chorus:
            DmDm
Sometimes it takes a strong hand
           FF       C majorC
Of a kind-hearted mother to make a weak man
            A7A7           FF
Dig down deep and find the strength from somewhere
                C majorC      G+G
To withstand more than he can without her care


Verse 2:
FF         C majorC
Lately I've been calling home
G+G        A minorAm   G+G   FF
Speaking to my brothers on the phone
            C majorC       G+G
And we laugh as we're looking back
A minorAm     G+G
Over our shoulder
FF        C majorC           G+G
Laughing 'bout games that we played to win
       A minorAm   G+G     FF
And how we wouldn't let each other in
             C majorC
How we'll never make the same mistakes
    G+G
Ever again


Chorus:
            DmDm
Sometimes it takes a strong hand
           FF         C majorC
Of a kind-hearted brother to make the weak man
          A7A7           FF
Dig down deep and find the strength from somewhere
                C majorC      G+G
To withstand more than he can without his care

Bridge:
 FF               C majorC          G+G
It's hard to think there was a time when I believed I
     A minorAm      G+G
Would never see a future
  FF        C majorC     G+G
Now I can't see anything clearer


Verse 3:
FF         C majorC
So tonight I'm coming home
              A minorAm  G+G  FF
Can't bear to think of you lying there alone
              C majorC       G+G
Stroke your hair and I'll kiss your back
        A minorAm     G+G
Then right up over your shoulder
FF        C majorC           G+G
Dive into your world like it's gonna end
      A minorAm      G+G    FF
Like I may never get the chance again
          C majorC            G+G
Everybody needs somebody on whom they can depend


Chorus:
            DmDm
Sometimes it takes a strong hand
          FF        C majorC
Of a kind-hearted woman to make a weak man
          A7A7            FF
Dig down deep and find the strength from somewhere
                 C majorC     G+G
To withstand more than he can without her care


Chorus:
           DmDm
Sometimes it takes a little planning
            FF         C majorC
And whole lotta understanding to make a weak man
          A7A7          FF
Dig down deep and find the strength from somewhere
                C majorC      G+G
To withstand more than he can without her care
