[Intro] B  E

[Primeira Parte]

B                       E
  I bet you could've used a minute
G#m                    F#
    Just a little time alone
B                             E
  But you let me be your little shadow
G#m                    F#
Following wherever you would go
B                   E
  Then I got a little older
G#m              F#
  And you gave me space to grow
B                      E
  I don't ever seem to tell you enough but
G#m            F#
  I want you to know

[Refrão]

     E            F#
When God made you my mother
G#m             F#
He knew who I'd need
        E                   F#
When he picked you from the others
         G#m     F#4
He could already see
F#      E               F#
   That you would be my hero
    G#m                  F#4
And everything I want to be
F#     E               F#
  When God madе you my mother
       G#m   F#      B
He was being good to mе

[Segunda Parte]

B                           E
  I come to you with all my secrets
G#m                   F#
  And you never, ever judge
B                            E
  And when I'm falling in my weakness
G#m                             F#
  You give me strength to stand back up
B                          E
  No amount of miles could separate us
G#m                           F#
  No place where I don't feel your love
B                                  E
  You say I'm the gift that heaven gave you
G#m               F#
But I'm the lucky one

G#m             F#
He knew who I'd need
        E                   F#
When he picked you from the others
         G#m     F#
He could already see
F#      E               F#
   That you would be my hero
    G#m                  F#
And everything I want to be
F#     E               F#
  When God madе you my mother
       G#m   F#      B  E  G#m  F#
He was being good to mе

E               F#
  If I'm ever a mother
G#m7              F#
  I wanna be like you
      E                 F#
If he picks me from the others
