Mama, I understand your many sleepless nights
                                      C
When you're seat and you think about father
G                                    Am7  F
Or how you tried to be the perfect wife

             C                  G
You used to dress and fix your hair
          Am7                F
Then you smiled through your tears
        C               G
In the mirror you would stare
             Am7
And say a prayer, like:
  F                     C
I wish he said "I'm beautiful"
                          G
I wish it didn't hurt at all
                          Am7
I don't know how I got here
                                   F
I was once the one who had his heart

                               C
Until you had enough then you took that ring off
    G
You took that ring off
                 Am7
So tired of the lies and trying, fighting, crying
F
Took that ring off
            C
Oh, now the fun begins
                          G
Dust yourself off and you love again
                            Am7
You found a new man now you shine and you're fine
                        F
Like it's my time, you took that ring off

C               G                                              Am7
Mama (so sexy), you live and learn, that's just the way life goes
                   F
(you're a killer, you're a killer)
                                    C
Always know that you've got a daughter
     G                                 Am7
That's so so proud you took the high road
     F
You're so sexy

             C                  G
You used to dress and fix your hair
          Am7                F
