[C#m]　[B]　[G#m]　[C#m]　[B]　[G#m]

 

[C#m]Mama, she has taught me well

[B]Told me when I was [G#m]young

[C#m]"Son, your life's an open book

Don't [B]close it 'fore it's [G#m]done"

"The [C#m]brightest flame burns quickest"

Is [C#m]what I heard her [G#m]say

[C#m]A son's heart's owned to Mother

But [B]I must find my [G#m]way

 

[C#m]Let [B]my [G#m]heart [F#]go

[C#m]Let [B]your [G#m]son [F#]grow

Mama, [C#m]let [B]my [G#m]heart [F#]go

Or, [C#m]let [B]this [A]heart [F#]be [G#m]still (be still)

 

[C#m]　[B]　[G#m]　[C#m]　[B]　[G#m]

 

[C#m]"Rebel," my new last name

[B]Wild blood in my [G#m]veins

[C#m]Apron strings around my neck

The [B]mark that still [G#m]remains

[C#m]Left home at an early age

Of [B]what I heard was [G#m]wrong

I [C#m]never asked forgiveness

But [B]what is said is [G#m]done

 

[C#m]Let [B]my [G#m]heart [F#]go

[C#m]Let [B]your [G#m]son [F#]grow

Mama, [C#m]let [B]my [G#m]heart [F#]go

Or, [C#m]let [B]this [A]heart [F#]be [G#m]still

 

[C#m]Never [F#]I ask of you

But [B]never I [E]gave

But you [C#m]gave me your [F#]emptiness

I now [B]take to my [E]grave

[C#m]Never [F#]I ask of you

But [B]never I [E]gave

But you [C#m]gave me your [F#]emptiness

I now [B]take to my [E]grave

So [C#m]let [B]this [A]heart [F#]be [G#m]still

 

[C#m]Mama, now I'm coming home

I'm not [B]all you wished of [G#m]me

But a [C#m]mother's love for her son

[B]Unspoken, help me [G#m]be

[C#m]I took your love for granted

And all the [B]things you said to [G#m]me, yeah-yeah

I [C#m]need your arms to welcome me

But a [B]cold stone's all [G#m]I see

 

Let my heart [F#]go

[C#m]Let [B]your [G#m]son [F#]grow

Mama, [C#m]let [B]my [G#m]heart [F#]go

Or, [C#m]let [B]this [A]heart [F#]be [G#m]still

[C#m]Let [B]my [G#m]heart [C#m]go

Mama, [C#m]let [B]my[G#m] heart [C#m]go

You never [C#m]let [B]my [G#m]heart [C#m]go

So, [C#m]let [B]this [A]heart [F#]be [G#m]still

 

[C#m]　[F#]　[B]　[E]　[C#m]　[F#]　[B]　[E]

 

[C#m]Never [F#]I ask of you

But [B]never I [E]gave

But you [C#m]gave me your [F#]emptiness

I now [B]take to my [E]grave

[C#m]Never [F#]I ask of you

But [B]never I [E]gave

But you [C#m]gave me your [F#]emptiness

I now [B]take to my [E]grave

So [C#m]let [B]this [A]heart [F#]be [G#m]still
