Mother

Am

[Verse 1]
Am                        Em     
Father, he cried with his fists 
   Am
one evening
    Am                    Em     
His eyes were ablaze from all he 
Am
consumed
                            Em     
Mother, she crawls down the stairs 
       Am
in the morning
                      Em         
She's black and blue, broken and 
Am
bruised
                Em         Am
Black and blue, broken and bruised

[Verse 2]
Am                           
She crawls to her room and she 
  Em          Am
screams her hardest
                              Em   
As the voices inside her head merge
      Am
 into one
                        Em         
She hears his footsteps alone in 
  Am
the darkness
                        Em       
She closes her eyes and prays for 
     Am
her son

                    Em            
Closes her eyes and prays for her

son

[Chorus]
    Am      G           Am
But no, her son doesn't come

And no, her son doesn't come

[Verse 3]
     Am                Em         
Well all I remember is reading 
  Am
some letter
                      Em          
Saying "I'm leaving," not for how 
Am
long
                             Em    
Look after your mother, look after 
     Am
your sister
                          Em       
Don't make my mistakes, I know they
      Am
 were wrong
                          Em       
Don't make my mistakes, I know they
      Am
 were wrong

[Bridge]
N.C.
Well hindsight, is beautiful but not
 so forgiving
N.C.
The truth just follows and festers 
inside
N.C.
You can choose just what you 
remember
N.C.
But the truth gets lost and found by
 your lies
N.C.
The truth gets lost and found by 
your lies

[Chorus]
N.C.                           Am G 
Am
And no, your son will not come
    Am       G
And no, your son will not come
