YOUR [Em]MAMA CAME RUNNIN OUT

[Verse 1]
[A]
TA THE HOUSE [D]WITH A WILD LOOK IN HER EYE[G]S
YOU [Em]TRAILED HER ALL THE WAY [A]DOWN THE BLOCK,
TIL SHE [D]SAT RIGHT DOWN [G]AND CRIED
[Em]CURTAINS SWAYIN IN [A]EVERY WINDOW,
[D]CRACKED VENETIAN [G]BLINDS
YEAH [Em]IT COULD BE ANY [A]ONE OF US,
[D]WITH A BROKEN [G]MIND
YEAH [Em]IT COULD BE ANY [A]ONE OF US,
[D]WITH A BROKEN [G]MIND

[Verse 3]
YEAH [Em]I WAS JUST A KID THEN
SKIN[D]NIN' MY KNEES
IN WOOD[G]BURY HILLS
TRY[Em]IN TO MAKE A LITTLE

WHEN THE CAT [G]GOT KILLED
WAS [Em]A MEAN MAN DOWN THE BLOCK

[Verse 4]

[Verse 6]
SOME[F#]TIMES I DON'T
