Capo 2
Intro: Am/ C/ G (x2)
She was so young wit[Am]h such innocent eyes[C] [G]
She always dreamt of[Am] a fairytale life[C] [G]
And all the things t[Am]hat your money can't buy[C] [G]
She thought that he [Am]was a wonderful guy[C] [E]
Then sudden[Am]ly, things seemed to cha[C]nge[G]
It was the moment[Am] she took on his [C]name[G]
He took his anger ou[Am]t on her face[C] [G]
She kept [Am]all of her pain lo[C]cked aw[G]ay[E]
Oh[Am] mother, we're stron[C]ger
F[G]rom all of the tears you have shed
Oh[Am] mother, don't look back[C]
[G]'Cause he'll never hurt us again
So mot[Am]her, I thank y[C]ou
[G]For all you've done and still do
Y[Am]ou got me, I go[C]t you
To[Am]gether we a[C]lways pull through[G]
We always pull through[E]
We always pull throu[G]gh
Oh mother, oh mother[C], oh mother[E]
It was the day that [Am]he turned on his kids[C] [G]
That she knew she ju[Am]st had to leave him[C] [G]
So many voices insid[Am]e of her head[C] [G]
Saying over and over and ove[E]r,
"[G]You deserve much more than this."[C]
S[Am]he was so sick of believing [C]the lies and trying to hide[G]
[E]Covering the cuts and bruises (cuts and bruises)
So tired of defendin[Am]g her life, she could have died[C]
F[G]ighting for the lives of her children
Oh[Am] mother, we're stron[C]ger
F[G]rom all of the tears you have shed
Oh[Am] mother, don't look back[C]
[G]'Cause he'll never hurt us again
So mot[Am]her, I thank y[C]ou
[G]For all you've done and still do
Y[Am]ou got me, I go[C]t you
To[Am]gether we a[C]lways pull through[G]
We always pull through[E]
We always pull throu[G]gh
Oh mother, oh mother[C], oh mother[E]
All of your life y[A]ou have spent
[G]Burying hurt and regret[C]
But ma[Am]ma, he'll never touch us aga[E]in
For every time he[A] tried to break you down
[G]Just remember who's still around[C]
[Am]It's over, and we'r[C]e stronger
[E]And we'll never have to go back again[G]
Oh[Am] mother, we're stron[C]ger
F[G]rom all of the tears you have shed
Oh[Am] mother, don't look back[C]
[G]'Cause he'll never hurt us again
So mot[Am]her, I thank y[C]ou
[G]For all you've done and still do
Y[Am]ou got me, I go[C]t you
To[Am]gether we a[C]lways pull through[G]
We always pull through[E]
We always pull throu[G]gh
Oh mother, oh mother[C], oh mother[E]
End on Am
