[Intro]
Dbm B A Abm (2x)

[Verse 1]
    A                       Abm                   Gbm     Abm
I'm turning my back on this life for as long as I can,
         A                 Abm                        Gbm    Abm
Someone make me star 'cause I sure as hell can't be a man,
          A                     Abm
I'm too fragile and clever you know
          A                       Abm
And this universe just leaves me cold
          A                         Abm                  Gbm     Abm
I'm just hanging around here, I'm longing for someone to hold

[Chorus]
           Dbm              B
You always knew didn't you Mother
           Dbm                   B
You always knew as mothers always do
            Gbm            Abm
You always knew didn't you Mother
         Gbm              Abm
I was a stranger in this world

[Verse 2]
       A                 Abm                    Gbm     Abm
This dumb education was never quite part of my plan
        A                   Abm                  Gbm    Abm
So you left me to ruin but I'll always know who I am
           A                    Abm
I'm too fragile and clever you see
            A                     Abm
And your universe just leaves me cold
            A                       B                    Gbm    Abm
I'm just hanging around here, I'm longing for someone to hold

[Chorus]
           Dbm              B
You always knew didn't you Mother
           Dbm                   Abm
You always knew as mothers always do
Dbm        Gbm            Abm
You always knew didn't you Mother
         Gbm              Abm
I was a stranger in this world

[Bridge]
   B                    A                          G     A
Whoever told you that these were the days of our lives?
     G                B                            A        G
The sweet boys they crumble, and the wicked ones rise and survive
               A           G                  A          B     G
And they're running our lives, yes they're running our lives

Abm   Gbm

[Chorus]
            Dbm              B
You always knew didn't you Mother
           Dbm                    B
You always knew as mothers always do
           Dbm               Abm
You always knew didn't you Mother,
          Gbm             Abm
I was a stranger in this world

[Outro]
Dbm                             A       Abm
On a clear day, I can see myself for miles
    Dbm        Gbm     Abm
Oh Mother, oh Mother
      Dbm      A   Abm
On a clear day
    Dbm       Gbm Abm     Dbm
Oh Mother, Oh Mother, Oh Mother...
