Mama Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
cross [G]my knuckles Broken skin
[Cm]Bandage from an oil spill
[D]Broken cars [Em]and coffee
whitener I was just [D]trying to be liked

[Verse 2]
[G]Sifting through my brother's house
[Cm]Twenty years between us
It ain't there now
Just a [D]kid diggin' for change
So I could save to buy my [Em]mother
Sweet [D]pearls that she deserved

[Verse 3]
[G]Colder nights I think about Two
[Cm]plastic pails
Water spilling out
[D]Cross the field just to wash [Em]our faces Dreaming
bout the [D]beautiful places We'll see
[G]One day when it all works out You'll be han[Cm]ging
up pictures In a brand new house
[D]Get you some things To string
[Em]about
Sit around laugh[D]ing til the kettle blows

[Verse 4]
[G]Guess that's your curse Being the salt of the
earth If [Cm]things are gonna run
Someone's gotta get there
first [D]Feet on the gravel
Hands [Em]in the dirt
That's [D]why I pray you get what
[G]you deserve

[Verse 5]
Oh [C]mama
You're gonna get what
[G]you deserve

[Verse 6]
[Cm]My word Oh [G]mama[C]
You're gonna get what
[G]you deserve [Cm]My word

[Verse 7]
[G]Flood the rink
With a garden hose [Cm]Left it too long
The ground [D]was exposed Turning
dandelions [Em]to roses
[D]That's just the way you've always been

[Verse 8]
Now [G]I seek love of a similar
standard [Cm]Watched you fix it
Empty handed
[D]Placed your patches on other's [Em]damage
That's why I pray [D]you get what [G]you deserve

[Verse 9]
Oh [C]mama
You're gonna get what
[G]you deserve [Cm]My word
Oh [G]mama[C]
You're gonna get what
[G]you deserve My word
[Cm]

[Verse 10]
[C]
[G]cross my knuckles Broken [D]skin
Bandage from an oil spill
[D]Broken cars and[Em] coffee
whitener I was just [D]trying to be liked
