               A (F7 E7 A)
I think I'd like to call you Mom
              F#m B
'Cause you remind me of my mom
            Bm
I'm gonna go put on my sailor suit
  Dm         E
And we'll go out on the town
               A (F7 E7 A)
Why don't you let me call you that?
               F#m B
You're acting so much like my mom
             Bm
She didn't like it when I called her name
Dm         A
You and her are the same

      B
When we go out
      D
You'll know someone is there
     F#           A
You will feel someone staring at you
       D
You're on my mind
   A
As I dream of the game
     B
Where I'm rolling a hoop
   E                A (F7 E7 A)
And I turn around to find that you are gone
             F#m B
Which was exactly like my mom
             Bm
And I will go hang up my sailor suit
  Dm          A
And lie face-down on the lawn

I see you moving towards the door

'Cause you don't trust me anymore
               Bm
I need to find someone who's nice to me
  Dm          E
The way that you used to be
              A (F7 E7 A)
And then I'm gonna call her You
