[Intro]
C C C C


[Verse 1]
C                                 
 I didn't listen to my mom when 
                     G
she taught me how to clean
and my dishes, they are waiting in 
     C
the sink
I didn't listen to my mom telling me
              G
 to go to sleep
maybe that's why I'm up every night 
     Am
till 3

      F            C              
Just waiting for sleep and what it
   G
 brings
    Am        F              
a break from wading through my 
  C         G
insecurities
      Am     F        C     
I'm awake, unable to shake the 
            G      G
little things


[Verse 2]
C                                 
  I didn't listen to my mom when 
                      G
she told me I should share
and I have trouble telling anyone my
  C
 fears
I'll never be the best at anything, 
                    G
no one will know my name
it’s a silly thing but I am still 
   Am
afraid

Continues after the ad
    F        C                 G
of living a life from start to end
     Am        F          C      
and then, I'm missing forgotten 
         G
when I'm dead
    Am       F             C     
and now I'm wishing I had heard 
            G     G
her when she said    when she said


[Chorus]
Am         F     C        G
love you child, you're my own
 Am          F         C      
damn those standards, you're not 
    G
those
Am          F          C       G
you're not judged on what you make
     Am     F          G     C
the man you are's the boy I raised
     Am     F          G     C
the man you are's the boy I raised

[Verse 3]
C                                 
 I didn't listen to my mom as a I 
                 Am
sunk below the ground
I didn't listen to my mom as I was 
              F
buried by my doubts
I didn't listen to my mom when she 
                 G
tried to dig me out
                     Am
but I am listening now.

      F         C               
I've heard the words they finally 
   G
ring
     Am      F           C       
I'm sure my worth isn't balanced 
         G
on one thing
      Am         F              
it is earned by learning from the 
   C               G     G
songs my mother sings    and she 
sings


[Chorus]
Am         F     C        G
love you child, you're my own
 Am          F         C      
damn those standards, you're not 
    G
those
Am          F          C       G
you're not judged on what you make
     Am     F          G     C
the man you are's the boy I raised

C                            
 I didn't listen to my mom but 
                                  G
that's the thing when you're a kid
you don't know what you don't know 
            C
when you begin
if I've learned anything that I can 
                         G
sing, that I can pass along
G                             C
  be good and listen to your mom
