But a whole lot has changed
FYours is the first voice I've heard in Gdays

CMama please don't come over
This ain’t nAmothing you can help

You'll be the first to know when I start to come around
FI’m not drowning I'm just Gseeing how long I can stay Cdown

And mama she's Amgone
And just a Fpicture in a Cdrawer
FThe kind of hurt that takes a Crainy day and Ghurts that much more
Mama she's Cgone

Can't believe that once I called this place my home
FCause I'm walking the streets and Gall I see is Cghosts

And just a Fpicture in a Cdrawer
The Fkind of hurt that Ctakes a rainy day and Ghurts that much more
Mama she's gCone

FLonely, lonely and wondering where I Cam
FAnd I know the love I see was over long before it Gbegan

CAnd now the rain's getting closer
AmMidnight's coming on
The Cwind seems to whisper
You Amfool you know she's gone
F G C walk Am
I still leave the gate unlatched just in case she staggers home
FMama said she was no Ggood And now she's Cgone
