G             D   Am              C
Mother do you see what's about to happen 
G                 Em                  D
I'm gonna turn us around and we'll be gone

He told me once that he knew when he first saw you
G                  D
But were you happy then 
Am          C
I'd like to know 
G                       Em             D

And you know about me at only 23

you saw her come and go as I went through everything I had
G                  D   Am             C 
But mother did you see what was gonna happen
G                  Em                        D
She let me down so far I never quite made it back
