^AmMama, she has taught me well ^EmTold me when I was ^Eyoung ^AmSon, your life´s an open book ^EmDon´t close it before it´s ^Edone ^AmThe brightest flame burns quickest, ^EmThat´s what I heard her ^Esay, ^AmA son´s heart´s owed to mother ^EmBut I must find my ^Eway

®:

^AmLet ^Em my ^G heart ^D go ^AmLet ^Emyour ^Gson ^Dgrow Mama ^Amlet^Emmy ^Gheart ^Dgo Or^Am let ^Emthis^Am heart ^Embe ^E still

Rebel mind your last name Wild blood in my veins They bring string around my neck They mark that still remains Left home at and early age Of what I heard was wrong I never asked forgiveness But what it said is done ®:

®1: ^AmNever I asked^D you But^G never I ^Cgave But you^Am gave me your^D emptiness That I´ll^G take to my^C grave ^AmNever I^D ask of you But^G never I ^Cgave But you^Am gave me your^D emptiness I now ^Gtake to my ^Cgrave So^Am let^G this^Em heart^Am be ^E still

Mama now I´m coming home I´m not all you wished of me But a mother´s love for her son Spoken help me be… I took your love for granted And all the things you said to me I need your arms to welcome me But a cold stone´s all I see
