[C][Am]
[Dm]
[C][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Dm]Mama she has taught me well
[C]Told me when I was [Am]young
[Dm]Son your life's an open book
Don't [C]close it 'fore its [Am]done
The [Dm]brightest flame burns quickest
That's [C]what I heard her [Am]say
A [Dm]son's heart's owed to mother
But [C]I must find my w[Am]ay

[Chorus 1]
[Dm]Let [C]my h[Am]eart g[G]o
[Dm]Let [C]your s[Am]on g[G]row
Mama, [Dm]let [C]my h[Am]eart g[G]o
Or [Dm]let t[C]his [Bb]heart [G]be s[Am]till

[Interlude 1]
Yeah, still
[Dm]
[C][Am]
[Dm]
[C][Am]

[Verse 2]
[Dm]Rebel, my new last name
[C]Wild blood in my [Am]veins
[Dm]Apron strings around my neck
The [C]mark that still re[Am]mains
[Dm]Left home at an early age
Of [C]what I heard was [Am]wrong
I [Dm]never asked forgiveness
But [C]what is said is [Am]done

[Chorus 2]
[Dm]Let [C]my h[Am]eart g[G]o
[Dm]Let [C]your s[Am]on g[G]row
Mama, [Dm]let [C]my h[Am]eart g[G]o
Or [Dm]let t[C]his [Bb]heart [G]be s[Am]till

[Bridge 1]
[Dm]Never I [G]ask of you
But [C]never I [F]gave
But you [Dm]gave me your [G]emptiness
that I'll [C]take to my [F]grave
[Dm]Never I [G]ask of you
But [C]never I [F]gave
But you [Dm]gave me your [G]emptiness
that I'll [C]take to my [F]grave
So [Dm]let t[C]his [Bb]heart [G]be s[Am]till

[Verse 3]
[Dm]Mama, now I'm coming home
I'm not [C]all you wished of [Am]me
A [Dm]mother's love for her son
Un[C]spoken, and may[Am]be
Yeah, I [Dm]took your love for granted
And all the [C]things you said to [Am]me
I [Dm]need your arms to welcome me
But, a [C]cold stone's all [Am]I see

[Chorus 3]
Let my heart [G]go
[Dm]Let [C]your s[Am]on g[G]row
Mama, [Dm]let [C]my h[Am]eart g[G]o
Or [Dm]let t[C]his [Bb]heart [G]be s[Am]till

[Chorus 4]
[Dm]Let [C]my h[Am]eart g[Dm]o
Mama, [Dm]let [C]your h[Am]eart g[Dm]o

So [Dm]let t[C]his [Bb]heart [G]be s[Am]till

[Dm]Never I [G]ask of you
But [C]never I [F]gave
But you [Dm]gave me your [G]emptiness
that I'll [C]take to my [F]grave
So [Dm]let t[C]his [Bb]heart [G]be s[Am]till
