Bb
I don’t wanna make a big scene
              Gm
I just need a moment lying on this street

If your lungs stop you die

If you lose love that’s life

What a blue sky

Verse 2:

Bb
All my friends they miss you alot
            Gm
I know your father probably hates my guts
                  Ebmaj7
When a lover cuts ties
                 Ebm
Other people get caught
            Bb
In the crossfire

Chorus:

Bb   Cm   Dm    Cm      Ebmaj7
And yesterday I told my mother
                             Eb               Bb
You’ll learn to love again I know she was the daughter
          F                                  Ebmaj7
You never had and I know sometimes you might miss her
                                                 Bb
But I know the years can heal and if there is another

Maybe you’ll love them in the same way you loved her

Verse 3:

Bb
Tuesday with your wet hair and curls
          Gm
Wearing pajamas in the outside world
                      Ebmaj7
Couldn’t look in your eyes
                     Ebm                Bb
When you got in your car and started to drive

Chorus:

Bb   Cm   Dm   Cm       Ebmaj7
And yesterday I told my mother
                             Eb                Bb
You’ll learn to love again I know she was the daughter
          F                                  Ebmaj7
You never had and I know sometimes you might miss her
                                               Bb
But I know the years can heal and if there is another
             F                             Ebmaj7
Maybe you’ll love them in the same way you loved her

And tomorrow I say mother

You’ll learn to love again I know you want to write her
            F                                  Ebmaj7
You’d never thought you’d grow a blood bond to another
                                             Bb
You didn’t birth but that’s the joy of human nature
            F                               Bb
Some people stumble into your heart for all time
