Matt Maltese - Mother

[Verse 1]
Bb
I don’t wanna make a big scene
Gm
I just need a moment lying on this street
Eb
If your lungs stop, you die
Ebm
If you lose love, that’s life
Bb
What a blue sky

[Pre-Chorus]
Bb
All my friends, they miss you a lot
Gm
I know your father probably hates my guts
Eb
When a lover cuts ties
Ebm
Other people get caught
Bb
In the crossfire

[Chorus]
Bb Cm Dm Cm Eb
And yesterday I told my mother
Bb
You’ll learn to love again, I know she was the daughter
Dm Eb
You never had, and I know sometimes you might miss her
Bb
But I know the years can heal, and if there is another
F Bb
Maybe you’ll love them in the same way you loved her

[Verse 2]
Bb
Tuesday with your wet hair and curls
Gm
Wearing pajamas in the outside world
Eb
Couldn’t look in your eyes
Ebm
When you got in your car
Bb
And started to drive

[Chorus]
Bb Cm Dm Cm Eb
And yesterday I told my mother
Bb
You’ll learn to love again, I know she was the daughter
Dm Eb
You never had, and I know sometimes you might miss her
Bb
But I know the years can heal, and if there is another
F Eb
Maybe you’ll love them in the same way you loved her

[Outro]
Eb Eb Gm Dm
Eb Eb Gm Dm

Eb
And tomorrow I’ll stay mother
Bb
You’ll learn to love again I know you wanna write her
Dm Eb
You never thought you’d go and grow up into another
Bb
You didn’t birth but that’s the joy of human nature
F Bb
Some people stumble into your heart for all time
