Mama Always Told Me

E / Esus / E / Esus
 
[Verse 1]
E                B         Esus             E
I thought this would be a forever kind of pain
E                         B
Oh, and I thought this would hold me down
        Esus          E
And I'd never be the same
   Esus
Oh, and the funny thing is
                      E
I've seen so much darkness
                            B              Esus
And I've been through the darkest of time
                              E
But I'm still standing here, yeah
                B
I can see the light
 
Esus
 
 
[Chorus]
                    E
'Cause mama always told me
             B                         C#m        B        Esus
Life wasn't easy and sometimes it gets hard to believe
                         E
But when you're feeling down
                 B
Love will come around
                        C#m
And lift your from the ground again
           Esus                       E
And you're heart will sing its song again, whoa
 
 
[Verse 2]
         E                B
Oh, and you if you're listening
    Esus                       E
I'm here to tell you that the same is true
                                       B
'Cause every little thing that you've been through
Esus                                E       Esus
Gave your song a different kind of tune
                                                   C#m
But the crazy thing is you've been through some hardships
                               B               Esus
And you've been through the hardest of times
                                  E
But you're still standing here
                      B       Esus
And you can see the light
 
 
[Chorus]
                     E
'Cause mama always told me
             B                         C#m       B        Esus
Life wasn't easy and sometimes it gets hard to believe
                         E
But when you're feeling down
                 B
Love will come around
                        C#m           B
And lift your from the ground again
           Esus                       E
And you're heart will sing its song again, whoa
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
Esus
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
E
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Esus
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
E        B        Esus
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
 
 
[Chorus]
                       E
'Cause my mama always told me
             B                         C#m       B      Esus
Life wasn't easy and sometimes it gets hard to believe
                         E
But when you're feeling down
                  B
Love will come around
                        C#m     B
And lift your from the ground again
           Esus         B           E
And you're heart will sing its song again
