[Verse 1]
[Bm]Janu[A]ary [G]and the air is[D] cold
[A]It's been a while since
[Bm]I heard my [A]mother's tone
[G]Yet I know when I need her mos[D]t[A]
She [Bm]lends me her [A]shoulder[G]
Carries my [D]grief like hidden [A]sin
Even through the [Bm]times
I wouldn't [A]let her in
[G]Now I'll never make the sam[D]e
mistake ever again
[A]

[Verse 2]
Sometimes it takes [Em]the strong hand
Of a kind- hearted [G]mother
to make a [D]weak man
Dig down deep and find the strength
[Em]from somewhere[D]
[G]To withstand more than he can
[D]without her care
[A][D]

[Verse 3]
[G]Lately I've been cal[D]ling home
[A]Speaking to my bro[Bm]thers on [A]the phone
[G]And we laugh as we're
[D]looking [A]back
[Bm]Over our [A]shoulder[G]
Laughing 'bout [D]games that
we played [A]to win
And how we [Bm]wouldn't let [A]each other in
[G]How we'll never make
the [D]same mistakes
Ever [A]again

[Verse 4]
Sometimes it takes the [Em]strong hand
Of a kind- hearted [G]brother
[A]to make the [D]weak man

[D]without his care
[A][D]

[Verse 5]
[G]It's hard to think there was a
[D]time when I believed [A]I
Would [Bm]never see a [A]future
[G]Now I can't see any[D]thing clearer[A][D]

[Verse 6]
[G]So tonight I'm com[D]ing home
[A]Can't bear to think of you
[Bm]lying [D]there alone
[G]Stroke your hair and I'll
[D]kiss [A]your back
Then right [Bm]up over your [A]shoulder[G]
Dive into your [D]world like
it's gonna en[A]d
Like I may [Bm]never get the [A]chance again
[G]Everybody needs somebod[D]y on
whom they can de[A]pend

[Verse 7]

[A]he can [D]without her [A]care

[Verse 8]
[D]Sometimes it takes a lit[Em]tle planning
And whole lotta under[G]standing

[D]without [Esus4]her care
[A]

Of a kind- hearted [Em]mother

Sometimes it takes the strong hand
[G]Sometimes it takes the
strong hand
Sometimes it takes the strong hand
