              E
I remember the day I called mama on the telephone
      F#       B
I told her mama I'm getting married
                          E
I could hear her voice on the other side of the telephone she was smiling
       F#               B
And she asked me a question that I proudly answered
                E
She said son did you take time to know her
     F#      B
I said mama she's the best

But today it hurts me so
    E
To go back to mama and say mama
  F#
I'm getting divorced
      B
Oh I'm getting divorced
F#     E   F#          E           F#  B
This choice I made didn't work out the way I thought it would (x2) it hurts me so mama
B

mama said to me

              E
It's not easy to understand it son
         F#
But I hope you'll make it
          B
You'll be happy again

I remember in church
E
When the preacher read the scriptures
F#             B
You looked so beautiful and innocent
                E
I did not know that behind that beauty
          F#                B
Lies the true colors that will destroy me in the near future
F#      E   F#     E      F#       E    B
This choice I made didn't work out the way I thought it would be (x2) Now I'm hurting

Solo: B E F# B

B
I remember when I held you
      E
By the hand preacherman read the scriptures
F#            B
Putting words in you mouth
                  E
Maybe what the preacherman said was not something that was with you
F#                B
Now I know what they mean when they say
                 E
Beautiful woman is another man's plaything
  F#        B
Oh Lord I'm hurting now
F#    E    F#    E       F#        E
this choice I made didn't work out the way I thought it would
B
Mama said to me
