VERSE:
        C
She'll take you in, feed your friends
    G
Her open arms are welcoming
       Am                                   F
She'll rub your back all night when you're crying

        C
She'll listen to you tell your story
 G
Hold your fear and all your worries
 Am                                       F
Help you find the truth when they're all lying

Am              G                   F
Even when it's hopeless, she keeps trying


CHORUS:
            C
She's your mother, you love her
       G                Am                            F
There won't be another place like her again you call home

     C                                G
She stands here to help you, there's nothing she won't do
    Am                               F
As long as she's alive, you're not alone,

                F
You've got each other
             C
That's your mother

VERSE:
     C
She fixes all the broken things
      G
When you're in love, she's got a ring
    Am                                  F
To give to you, she hopes you'll give away

     C
She don't care who you give it to
  G
Where they're from, if they pray like you
    Am                                  F
As long as they are good to you, that's enough

 Am               G                     F
First thing she taught you was love is love


CHORUS:
            C
She's your mother, you love her
       G                Am                                 F
There won't be another place like her again that you call home

      C                               G
She stands here to help you, there's nothing she won't do
   Am                                F
As long as she's alive, you're not alone,

                F
You've got each other
                 C
And that's your mother

BRIDGE:
          Em                      Am
When you fail her, when you're afraid
     F                                  G
And crying in the careless mess you've made

                 Em                      Am
She'll make you clean it up yourself and offer you a little help
     F                            G
And dry your weary eyes when you let her

             F
But she'll look at you and know you can do better


CHORUS:
            C
She's your mother, you love her
       G                Am                                 F
There won't be another place like her again that you call home

      C                               G
She stands here to help you, there's nothing she won't do
    Am                               F
As long as she's alive, you're not alone

         Am               G                  F
And the secrets in your heart she's always known


OUTRO:
         C
She's a beacon, a harbour
   G
A lighthouse, her armour
   Am                              F
A promise and a blanket when it's colder
       Am             G                F
You'll understand it more when you get older

                F
You've got each other
                 C
And that's your mother
