C                                G              C 
You taught me how to whistle and how to tie my shoes, 
C                                G              C 
And how to talk to Jesus in the darkness of my room. 
             F 
You held my hand when I got stitches, 
            Am7            F              C 
When one of Tommy Tyler's pitches hit my face. 
            G                            Am                 F 
One time I stole from your purse, then I lied and made it worse. 
                 C 
But you loved me anyway.

Growing up, I remember your amazing grace. 
         F                            Am 
I still feel your arms around me now and then. 
            F             
I miss you wavin' from the front door 
        C/E 
I can't drive by there anymore, 
Dm               C/E   F 
'Cause no one'll ever love me, 
G            C 
Like that again. 

C                                  G              C 
You sent me all those letters when I went off to school. 
C                                       G        C 
I should've written you back but I was too busy being cool. 
F 
Funny how I couldn't wait,  
           Am7              F               C 
To get you on the phone to say: "Mom, I'm in love." 
          G                             Am          F 
You were there whether or not I gave a little or a lot 
          C 
It was enough.

I can still hear you sayin' you're proud of me. 
         F                         Am 
And I remember thinkin' of you as my friend. 
            F             
I miss you wavin' from the front door 
        C/E 
I can't drive by there anymore, 
Dm               C/E   F 
'Cause no one'll ever love me, 
G            F  C/E 
Like that again. 

          G                                    Am 
I guess I miss you more today cause it's your birthday, 
                F                             C 
And I couldn't bear for you to spend it here alone. 
             D 
Wish I could say this to your face, 
            F                        G 
Instead of talkin' to your name carved in stone.

There's a hole in my heart 
        C/E 
In the shape of you, Mom. 
Dm               C/E   F     C/E 
'Cause no one'll ever love me, 
Dm        C/E   F     G 
No one'll ever love me, 
            C 
Like that again.
