Oh Mother

Am C G 2x Am C G She was so young with such innocent eyes Am C G She always dreamt of a fairytale life Am C G And all the things that your money can't buy Am C E She thought that he was a wonderful guy Am C G Then suddenly, things seemed to change Am C G It was the moment she took on his name Am C G He took his anger out on her face Am C G E She kept all of her pain locked away Am C Oh mother, we're stronger G From all of the tears you have shed Am C Oh mother, don't look back G 'Cause he'll never hurt us again Am C So mother, I thank you G For all you've done and still do Am C You got me, I got you Am C G Together we always pull through E We always pull through G We always pull through C E Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother Am C G It was the day that he turned on his kids Am C G That she knew she just had to leave him Am C G So many voices inside of her head E Saying over and over and over, G C "You deserve much more than this." Am C G She was so sick of believing the lies and trying to hide E Covering the cuts and bruises (cuts and bruises) Am C So tired of defending her life, she could have died G Fighting for the lives of her children Am C Oh mother, we're stronger G From all of the tears you have shed Am C Oh mother, don't look back G 'Cause he'll never hurt us again Am C So mother, I thank you G For all you've done and still do Am C You got me, I got you Am C G Together we always pull through E We always pull through G We always pull through C E Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother A All of your life you have spent G C Burying hurt and regret Am E But mama, he'll never touch us again A For every time he tried to break you down G C Just remember who's still around Am C It's over, and we're stronger E G And we'll never have to go back again Am C Oh mother, we're stronger G From all of the tears you have shed Am C Oh mother, don't look back G 'Cause he'll never hurt us again Am C So mother, I thank you G For all you've done and still do Am C You got me, I got you Am C G Together we always pull through E We always pull through G We always pull through C E Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother Am
