Verse 1:
Dm7
  I was making faces at my brother
Dm7                                Gmaj7
Come on, tell your sister that you love her, don't lie
Dm7
  I know we got problems that's just family
                                     Gmaj7
And God knows what we carry from our history, don't hide
        Cmaj7             Bm7
From my body and my mind, body and my mind


Pre-Chorus:
Am7
Hurt in the bloodline
D7
I'm gonna break


Chorus:
    Gmaj7
Oh, Mother
            Em7
Why I gotta be like that?
Gm7              Am7
I know it's been bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
                      D7
But, we don't have to carry on the past
        Gmaj7
Oh-ooh, Mother
              Em7
I don't wanna be like that
                 Am7
I know it's been bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
                    D7                       D9
But, I won't let my baby live with any of my past


Verse 2:
                                 Dm7
Heavy, heavy heartbreak made our country
                             Gmaj7
Why does Mamma India feel so far from me? Don't hide
Dm7
All these little boys were putting hands on where they probably shouldn't
Dm7
Really wish that touch was something that we didn't have in common
Gmaj7                      Cmaj7             Bm7
  Always lives in my body, body and my mind, body and my mind


Pre-Chorus:
Am7
Hurt in the bloodline
D7
I'm gonna break

    Gmaj7
Oh, Mother
            Em7
Why I gotta be like that?
                 Am7
I know it's been bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
                      D7
But, we don't have to carry on the past
        Gmaj7
Oh-ooh, Mother
              Em7
I don't wanna be like that
                 Am7
I know it's been bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
                    D7                         Am7 Bm7
But, I won't let my baby live with any of my past


Bridge:
Am7
I wanna break the cycle, I got all your tears ending up in mine
Bm7
I wanna break the cycle leave the bad, bad, bad, bad
Am7
I wanna love, to lost, to love and give my baby a chance
     Bm7
That I never had

Why I gotta be like that?
                 Am7
