[Verse 1]
                G                                  C
Well, there's a hole wearing through this couch of mine
    G                                       C                 D
And all of the cushions are falling out one little piece at a time
C                 D
You might see yourself in me
      G                  C
But I don't see nobody I know
                             D
This isn't the way I figured it would be
       G                      C
When I figured it a long time ago
            D    G  C
A long time ago

[Verse 2]
                G                         C
Well, there's a rule me and my little boy have
              G                                    D
You've got to say I love you before you close your eyes
    C               D
And he can dream himself to sleep
    G             C
And I can play or cry
                 D
One thing I have taught him well
      G            C
Is to never wonder why
            D
Why, wonder why

[Chorus]
          G                                  C
And I see Mars reflecting in my little boy's brown eyes
             G
And he says, "Mama, I'm gonna get there someday
                              C
Mama, I'm gonna get there someday"
            Am    D
And I say, "Fly"

[Verse 3]
              G                                   C
Well, you can hold the whole entire world in your hands
           G                               D
Or you can borrow all of your lessons from me
      C             D
Well, life is not a question, son
           G              C
I tell him life is just a dream
                      D
It's not as bad as it looks right now
        G                      C
Because nothing's as bad as it seems
          D
Not as it seems

[Chorus]
      G                                  C
I see Mars reflecting in my little boy's brown eyes
             G
And he says, "Mama, I'm gonna get there someday
                              C
Mama, I'm gonna get there someday"
      G                                  C
I see Mars reflecting in my little boy's brown eyes
             G
And he says, "Mama, I'm gonna get there someday
                              C
Mama, I'm gonna get there someday"
            Am    D
And I say, "Fly"

[Verse 4]
                G                                  C
Well, there's a hole wearing through this heart of mine
    G                                      C                 D
And all of the filling is falling out, one little piece at a time
          G                                  C
But I see Mars reflecting in my little boy's brown eyes
             G
And he says, "Mama, I'm gonna get there someday
                              C
Mama, I'm gonna get there someday"
            Am
And I say, "Fly
               G
I know you can fly"
