🎸 Verse 1:

    G+G
To the mothers who aren't sleeping
     E minorEm
That are having trouble feeding
C majorC               D MajorD
Too afraid to say they're not okay

No, not at all
    G+G
To the mothers who feel empty
      E minorEm
That aren't sure they're even ready
  C majorC
To be alone and responsible
  D MajorD
For somebody so small

🎸 Chorus:

    E minorEm
To the mothers who are lost
    C majorC
Pulled underneath the waves
  G+G
Who need to cry for help
    D MajorD
But are drowning in their shame
    E minorEm
To the mothers who are falling
     C majorC
And don't even make a sound
  G+G
Who don't know that they're broken
A augmentedA
Until they hit the ground
        C majorC
This one's for you
        D MajorD
I've been there too
        G+G  E minorEm  C majorC  D MajorD
I've been there too

🎸 Verse 2:

    G+G
To the mother that's at home
E minorEm
Scrolling through her phone
C majorC
Watching everybody else
   D MajorD
Make family look easy
    E minorEm
To the mom with a career
     A7A7
Who can't take off a whole year
    C majorC
So she has to pay somebody else
  D MajorD
To take care of her baby


🎸 Chorus:

    E minorEm
To the mothers who are lost
    C majorC
Pulled underneath the waves
  G+G
Who need to cry for help
    D MajorD
But are drowning in their shame
    E minorEm
To the mothers who are falling
     C majorC
And don't even make a sound
  G+G
Who don't know that they're broken
A augmentedA
Until they hit the ground
        C majorC
This one's for you
        D MajorD
I've been there too


🎸 Bridge:

E minorEm     EmMaj7Emmaj7  E minor 7Em7
And one day you'll discover
       Em6Em6
Going from a woman to a mother
     C majorC           D MajorD
It might break you but it might save you


🎸 Verse 3:

    G+G
To the mother in the mirror
  E minorEm
Who wishes she was thinner
    C majorC
'Cause now her body isn't
  D MajorD
Somebody that she knows
      G+G
And to the mothers just like me
     E minorEm
Who fell apart so suddenly
 C majorC
I hope you realize
         D MajorD
You're not alone

This one's for you
            C majorC   D MajorD
'Cause I've been there too
        G+G
I've been there too
