[Intro]
Dm C Am
[Verse]
Dm
Mama she has taught me well
C Am
Told me when I was young
Dm
Son your life's an open book
C Am
Don't close it before it's done
Dm
The brightest flame burns quickest
C Am
Thats what I heard her say
Dm
The son's heart's owed to mother
C Am
But I must find my way
[Chorus]
Dm C Am G
Let my heart go
Dm C Am G
Let your son grow
Dm C Am G
Mama let my heart go
Dm C B G Am
Or let this heart be still.
[Instrumental]
Dm C Am
[Verse]
Dm
Rebel, my new last name
C Am
Wild blood in my veins
Dm
Apron strings around my neck
C Am
The mark that still remains
Dm
Left home at an early age
C Am
of what I heard was wrong
Dm
I never asked forgiveness
C Am
But what I said is done
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Dm G
Never I asked of you
C F
but never I gave
Dm G
But you gave me your emptiness
C F
I now take to my grave
Dm G
Never I asked of you
C F
but never I gave
Dm G
But you gave me your emptiness
C F
I now take to my grave
Dm C B G Am
So let this heart be still.
[Verse]
Dm
Mama now I'm coming home
C Am
I'm not all you wished of me
Dm
A mother's love for her son
C Am
Unspoken, help me be
Dm
yeah I took your love for granted
C Am
and all the things you said to me
Dm
I need your arms to welcome me
C Am
That cold stone's all I see
[Chorus] 2X
[Bridge]
(solo over Dm G C F twice)
Dm G
Never I asked of you
C F
but never I gave
Dm G
But you gave me your emptiness
C F
I now take to my grave
Dm G
Never I asked of you
C F
but never I gave
Dm G
But you gave me your emptiness
C F
I now take to my grave
Dm C B G Am
So let this heart be still.
