My Mother

D You always had my back G D Every time I'd fall Bm From busted knees to broken hearts A We've been through it all D You made me walk the line every time G D I'd come in off the track Bm A D My mother's always been my better half D From my first shoe you tied G D To my first night in jail Bm You walked me through hand in hand A The rainbows and the hell D They say I got your eyes G D I say I've got more than that Bm A D My mother's always been my better half A You slowed down the drinking G And laid down on cigarettes A Better start thinking G About the things you will regret D And find a good woman G D And maybe get lucky like your dad Bm A Dsus2 My mother's always been my better half | Dsus2 D/F#| Gsus2 Dsus2 | Bm A | D

Verse 3

D You bought me my guitar G D For better grades in school Bm And I took it off to college A Then I took it for a tool D And now the name that you gave G D Is now my autograph Bm A D My mother's always been my better half

Chorus

A You slowed down the drinking G And laid down on cigarettes A Better start thinking G About the things you will regret D And find a good woman G D And maybe get lucky like your dad Bm A D My mother's always been my better half Bm A D My mother's always been my better half
