[Verse 1]
   Cadd9                                D            Em
She used to be my only enemy and never letting me be free
D                     G                  Cadd9
Catching me in places that I know I shouldnt be
Cadd9                                     D         Em
Every other day I cross the line I didnt mean to be so bad
D                                G                  Cadd9
I never thought that you would become the friend I never had

[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd9       D          Em   D            G        Cadd9
Back then I didnt know why, why you were misunderstood (Mama)
Cadd9    D                Em    D            G        Cadd9
So now I see through your eyes, all that you did was love

[Chorus]
Cadd9  D    Em   D  G   Cadd9
Mama I love you, Mama I care
Cadd9  D    Em   D  G    Cadd9
Mama I love you, Mama my friend (You're my friend)

[Verse 2]
Cadd9                                      D              Em
I didnt want to hear it then but I'm not ashamed to say it now
D                     G                    Cadd9
Every little thing you've said and did was right for me
Cadd9                                         D              Em
I had a lot of time to think about, about the way I used to be
D                   G             Cadd9
Never had a sense of my responsibility

[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd9       D          Em   D            G        Cadd9
Back then I didnt know why, why you were misunderstood
Cadd9    D               Em    D            G        Cadd9
So now I see through your eyes, all that you did was love

[Chorus]
Cadd9  D    Em   D  G   Cadd9
Mama I love you, Mama I care
Cadd9  D    Em   D  G    Cadd9
Mama I love you, Mama my friend

Cadd9            D Em         D G Cadd9
(You're my friend,   you're my friend)

[Bridge]
Cadd9       D          Em   D            G        Cadd9
But now I'm sure I know why, why you were misunderstood
Cadd9    D               Em    D            G        Cadd9
So now I see through your eyes, all I can give you is love (All I can give you is love)

[Chorus]
Cadd9  D    Em   D  G   Cadd9
Mama I love you, Mama I care
Cadd9  D    Em   D  G    Cadd9
Mama I love you, Mama my friend
