Listen To Your Mom

C C C C C G I didn't listen to my mom when she taught me how to clean C and my dishes, they are waiting in the sink G I didn't listen to my mom telling me to go to sleep Am maybe that's why I'm up every night till 3 F C G Just waiting for sleep and what it brings Am F C G a break from wading through my insecurities Am F C G G I'm awake, unable to shake the little things C G I didn't listen to my mom when she told me I should share C and I have trouble telling anyone my fears G I'll never be the best at anything, no one will know my name Am it’s a silly thing but I am still afraid F C G of living a life from start to end Am F C G and then, I'm missing forgotten when I'm dead Am F C G G and now I'm wishing I had heard her when she said when she said Am F C G love you child, you're my own Am F C G damn those standards, you're not those Am F C G you're not judged on what you make Am F G C the man you are's the boy I raised Am F G C the man you are's the boy I raised C Am G G 4x C 4x C Am I didn't listen to my mom as a I sunk below the ground F I didn't listen to my mom as I was buried by my doubts G I didn't listen to my mom when she tried to dig me out Am but I am listening now. F C G I've heard the words they finally ring Am F C G I'm sure my worth isn't balanced on one thing Am F C G G it is earned by learning from the songs my mother sings and she sings Am F C G love you child, you're my own Am F C G damn those standards, you're not those Am F C G you're not judged on what you make Am F G C the man you are's the boy I raised C 4x C G I didn't listen to my mom but that's the thing when you're a kid C you don't know what you don't know when you begin G if I've learned anything that I can sing, that I can pass along G C be good and listen to your mom
