[Intro]
C Am C Am
....................
[Verse 1]
C Am
When I couldn't leave the house, every day felt like
C Am F
Boeing 747s falling out the sky
I said, "I'm alright", thought I hid it well
C Am C Am
But you knew I was going through hell.....
[Verse 2]
C Am
Growing up you'd never leave me too long alone
C Am F
Be the one to hold my hand when I cross the road
C
Now I'm crossing off mistakes that I've gone and made
Am
A mother knows the daughter she raised
[Pre-Chorus]
F
Singing on the school runs with the rooftop down
Em A7
You'd say, "Darling, Go ahead and make me proud", but
[Chorus]
Dm G
Every guy that I ever dated
C G/B Am
Every bad friend you said you hated
Dm G A7
I ignored your advice, thought that I knew best
G/B C Dm
But you were like the voice in my head
G
Yeah, right there
C G/B Am
Like a beautiful thorn stuck in my side
G F G
Guess all I'm tryna say is.
Am
Mamma, you were right..
[Verse 3]
C Am
Even when I was gone, I wasn't far away
C Am F
Nothing that you coulda done would have made me stay
C
I was only tryna grow, follow my own heart
Am
I guess I wasn't really that smart
[Pre-Chorus]
F
Singing on the school runs with the rooftop down
Em A7
You'd say, "Darling, Go ahead and make me proud", but
[Chorus]
Dm G
Every guy that I ever dated
C G/B Am
Every bad friend you said you hated
Dm G A7
I ignored your advice, thought that I knew best
G/B C Dm
But you were like the voice in my head
G
Yeah, right there
C G/B Am
Like a beautiful thorn stuck in my side
G F G
Guess all I'm tryna say is.
Am
Mamma, you were right..
[Outro]
G F G
Guess all I'm tryna say is.
Am
Mamma, you were right..
