G    Em    C    D



🎸 Verse 1:

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

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

🎸 Chorus:

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


🎸 Verse 2:

       G
To the mother that's at home
Em
Scrolling through her phone
C
Watching everybody else
     D
Make family look easy
       Em
To the mom with a career
          A7
Who can't take off a whole year
       C
So she has to pay somebody else
   D
To take care of her baby


🎸 Chorus:

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


🎸 Bridge:

Em          Emmaj7    Em7
And one day you'll discover
             Em6
Going from a woman to a mother
         C                      D
It might break you but it might save you


🎸 Verse 3:

       G
To the mother in the mirror
    Em
Who wishes she was thinner
       C
'Cause now her body isn't
    D
Somebody that she knows
           G
And to the mothers just like me
          Em
Who fell apart so suddenly
  C
I hope you realize
                  D
You're not alone
               C     D
This one's for you
               Em    A
This one's for you
                       C     D
'Cause I've been there too
                G
I've been there too
