Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][Bm][Em][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
Going back [D]to a
tender age,
[A]So full of confusion and[C] rage,
[D]Daddy says, "Boys,
your Mama's [G]gone."
There's a [D]hand on your shoulder
as you're throwing dirt,
[A]Someone says, "Time heals the hurt.
[C]Little man, you got to kee[D]p
on keepin' [G]on,"[Em]
[G]But all[D] you[A] wan[Bm]t is [Em]Mama[A]'s arms.[D]

[Verse 2]
[D]You ride back home in [A]a limosine,
The saddest car that you've ever seen,
[C]Your brother can not look you in the eye.[G]
[D]Lightning strikes, thunder roars,
[A]An early winter in that heart of yours,
[C]But you swear you won't
let them see [G]you cry
'Cause [D]all [A]you [Bm]want [Em]is
[A]Mama's [D]arms.

[Verse 3]
[D]
The neighbors come and bring you pies,
[A]Endless words and futile sighs,
And you [C]run up to your room
and [Am]lock the door.
[G]And [D]there you are in your Sunday best,
[A]The way your Mama would
have had you dressed
And you [C]realize it doesn't [D]matter anymore
[G]'Cause all[D] you[A] wan[Bm]t is[Em]
[A]Mama's [D]arms.

[Verse 4]
'Round and 'round [D]and 'round it goes.
[A]The seasons change the young boy grows
[C]To understand it's all part of [G]some plan.
[D]You used to wonder what it's all about.
[A]Now those are questions
you can do without.
[C]You laugh them off and do
the best [G]you can
[Em]But [G]all [D]you [A]want[Bm] is [Em]Mama'[A]s arms.[D]
All [A]you [Bm]want [Em]is Ma[D]ma's arms.
