Mumma And Me

[Verso 1]
 
          B 
You had a life 
                           F# 
Before you even thought of mine 
             G#m 
Who were you then? 
                     G#m 
Did you have lots of friends? 
                     E 
and what car did you drive? 

             B 
When you met dad 
                                    F# 
Did you think of the life you might have? 
                G#m 
And on your wedding day 
                     G#m 
Did you plan out the names 
                       E 
Of the kids that youd have?

         B 
From the very first moment I looked in your eyes 
    F# 
You taught me about love as you stared into mine 
       G#m                                               E 
Youre holding the hands of the new little life that you made 

    B 
You brought me back home and I started to cry 
    F# 
You held me in close and sung sweet lullabies 
     G#m                                        E 
When I started running, I knew I was running to you 
    F#                                         G#m  G#m  Em 
The start of the story of everything Ill ever be 
N.C. 
My Mumma and me

             B 
Time passing by 
                 F# 
17 - blink of an eye 
               G#m 
Were fighting again, 
                 G#m 
Im smoking with friends 
                  E 
In the car parked outside 

             B 
Remember the day 
                               F# 
The cops drove me back to your place 
                      G#m 
And said is this your son? 
                      G#m 
Do you know what hes done? 
                   E 
Thank God for your grace

      B 
But I shook off your hand, when you tried to hold it 
      F# 
Said mum - Im a man, cant you leave me alone (and) 
      G#m                                   E 
 when I look back, I still the pain on your face 

       B 
All my mistakes, it cant have been easy 
   F# 
To hold all the space for hurting and healing 
G#m                                        E 
So many reasons for you to not love me the same 
    F#                                       G#m  G#m  Em 
How lucky am I, that nothing could come in between 
N.C. 
My mumma and me 
 


[Refrão]
 
B 
Now that Im grown well into my story 
  F# 
I finally know how much you did for me 
  G#m                                       E 
I may be a man, but Im still a boy in your arms 

     B 
When you start to stumble, your mind starts to go 
     F# 
Ill tell you the stories that you always told 
G#m                                               E 
Youll know I love you as I hold your hand in the dark 
     F#                     G#m                            Em 
Ill sing you to sleep, the one who gave me air to breathe 
N.C. 
My mumma and me
