Capo 1
[C]She used to climb out of the window Friday nights [F]To meet a boy and drink a beer or two
[C]She used to wear short skirts and tops that were too tight
I could be [F]wrong, pretty sure her parents never knew
That she got [Am]sad sometimes didn’t know just what she [G]had sometimes
She burned some bridges and she [F]crossed some lines But that’s just what young girls [G]do
She wasn’t always your [C]mother she had a life yet undis[Am]covered
Every scar and every [F]bruise Every love she had to lose it brought her here to [G]you
I know it’s hard for you to [C]see there was someone else she used to [Am]be
If you listen you will [F]learn Every time the seasons turn
That you’ll never have a[G]nother Your [Am]mother [F] [Am] [G] [F]
[C]She was terrified, she cried the day she brought you home [F]This perfect little person
She held you through the night Knew she’d never be alone [F]But she was fragile and uncertain
That she would [Am]get it wrong Only wanted to protect you from [G]all the harm
Cuz this world is bound to hurt you and you [F]must be strong Cuz that’s what she had to [G]do
She wasn’t always your [C]mother she had a life yet undis[Am]covered
Every scar and every [F]bruise Every love she had to lose it brought her here to [G]you
I know it’s hard for you to [C]see there was someone else she used to [Am]be
If you listen you will [F]learn Every time the seasons turn
That you’ll never have a[G]nother Your [C]mother
[F]Oh when she [G]goes Time will [Am]show
That [G]everything you [F]know [G]...She [Am]taught you [G]
[F]Oh when she’s [G]gone Like the [Am]words of a [G]song
Her love has [F]brought you [Fm]home
She wasn’t always your [C]mother she had a life yet undis[Am]covered
Every scar and every [F]bruise Every love she had to lose it brought her here to [G]you
I know it’s hard for you to [C]see there was someone else she used to [Am]be
If you listen you will [F]learn Every time the seasons turn
That you’ll never have a[G]nother Your [Am]mother [G]hmmm [F]
Your [Am]mother [G]hmmm [F]
Your [C]mother
