G C G C
[Verse 1]
G C
Well, there's a hole wearing through this couch of mine
G C D
And all of the cushions are falling out one little piece at a time
C D
You might see yourself in me
G C
But I don't see nobody I know
D
This isn't the way I figured it would be
G C
When I figured it a long time ago
D G C
A long time ago
[Verse 2]
G C
Well, there's a rule me and my little boy have
G D
You've got to say I love you before you close your eyes
C D
And he can dream himself to sleep
G C
And I can play or cry
D
One thing I have taught him well
G C
Is to never wonder why
D
Why, wonder why
[Chorus]
G C
And I see Mars reflecting in my little boy's brown eyes
G
And he says, "Mama, I'm gonna get there someday
C
Mama, I'm gonna get there someday"
Am D
And I say, "Fly"
[Verse 3]
G C
Well, you can hold the whole entire world in your hands
G D
Or you can borrow all of your lessons from me
C D
Well, life is not a question, son
G C
I tell him life is just a dream
D
It's not as bad as it looks right now
G C
Because nothing's as bad as it seems
D
Not as it seems
[Chorus]
G C
I see Mars reflecting in my little boy's brown eyes
G
And he says, "Mama, I'm gonna get there someday
C
Mama, I'm gonna get there someday"
G C
I see Mars reflecting in my little boy's brown eyes
G
And he says, "Mama, I'm gonna get there someday
C
Mama, I'm gonna get there someday"
Am D
And I say, "Fly"
[Verse 4]
G C
Well, there's a hole wearing through this heart of mine
G C D
And all of the filling is falling out, one little piece at a time
G C
But I see Mars reflecting in my little boy's brown eyes
G
And he says, "Mama, I'm gonna get there someday
C
Mama, I'm gonna get there someday"
Am
And I say, "Fly
G
I know you can fly"
