[Verse]
Fm          Eb          Ab
What would a mother not do for her child
     Gb                         Db
What lengths would a mother not go
Fm                    Eb           Ab
There’s a bond that exists between mother and child
        Gb                       Fm
With no end to how strong it can grow
       Db                       Gb
It’s a promise for life between mother and child
     Ab                      Fm
It begins from the moment of birth
           Fm9
And you're shaken you to your soul
       Ebdim7
With an ache you’ve never known
        Bbdim7
And you look into their eyes
            C7              Caug
And find you’re looking in your own

[Chorus]
              Fm              Eb
And there’s a pain you can’t imagine
                  Db              C
A special kind of torture you can feel
                       Fm               Eb
A cut that bleeds from somewhere deep inside you
         Db               C
A past regret you can not heal
                   Bbm                     Fm
And no one guesses all the while you’re praying
                     Bbm              Fm
The screaming little stranger in your arms
      Fm        Eb     Db       C7     Fm   Dbmaj7
Might just grow up and save you after all
      Fm        Eb     Db       C     Fm   Eb  Fm   Eb
Might just grow up and save you after all

[Verse]
Fm           Eb         Ab
What would a mother not do for her child
     Gb                         Db
What heights would a mother not climb
          Fm         Eb            Ab
There’s a bond that exists between mother
                 Gb                    Fm
And child and it only goes deeper with time
       Db                       Gb
It’s a promise for life between mother and child
       Ab                          Fm
And to break it there’s no greater pain
           Fm9
And you’re shaken to your soul
        Ebdim7
With an ache that can’t erase
         Bbdim7
Like the tears you never cried
                C7                Caug
But still keep scrubbing off your face

[Chorus]
                Fm              Eb
Cause there’s a pain you can’t imagine
                   Db              C
A little talk that keeps you wide awake
                      Fm          Eb
That somehow turns to bold determination
                    Db               C
That you won't ever make the same mistake
                  Bbm              Fm
And so you vow to feed your little future
                  Bbm                Fm
Assuring that her talent, poise, and charm
      Fm        Eb     Db       C7     Fm   Dbmaj7
Might just grow up and save you after all
      Fm        Eb     Db       C     Fm
Might just grow up and save you after all

[Bridge]
                         C Db C
Some dreams die upon the vine
                       C      Gdim
Some they never have a chance
                          C
Sweeter than the sweetest wine
                      Ab        C7 Caug
That mine becomes the Queen of France

[Chorus]
              Gm              F
And there's relief you can’t imagine
                     Eb           D
That fills up every sinew, bone, and nerve
                      Gm              F
To know that you can get out of this hellhole
                      Eb             D
And finally live the life that you deserve
                 Ebdim                  Gm
And suddenly the past you knew would haunt you
                 Cm              Ebmaj7
And all of the regret you didn’t show
      Gm  F  Eb        D7     Bbadd9   D7
Might just grow up and save you after all
      Gm  F  Eb       Ebmaj7 D7
Might just grow up and save you
      Gm  F  Eb        D7 Gm F Ebmaj7 D7
Might just grow up and save you after all



Gm          F          Eb
What would a mother not do for her child
     Ab                         Eb
What lengths would a mother not go
Gm          F          Eb
There’s a bond that exists between mother and child
Adim7
Ah, but then again
                   Gm
How would you know?
