A A/G# F#m  D E A

[Verse 1]
A     E              F#m
Sat inside a railway station
D                 E            A
Drinking a cup of coffee on my own
A         A/G#             F#m
Listening to the strangest conversation
      D            E            A
About children and holidays and Rome

A            A/G#         F#m
Last night I sat inside a bar room
D         A                 E
And I was thinking 'bout my childhood home
A           E               F#m
  I think I need to talk to mama
           D               E               A
'Cause I'm about to have a child all of my own

[Chorus]
      D           A           E
And I hope I'm as brave as my mother
      D                A             E
Wondering what kind of mother will I be?
           D            A       C#7             F#m
I hope she knows that I found a man far from my father
D       E         A
Sam, my baby, and me

[Verse 2]
A         E                 F#m
I've been thinking about my husband
     D              E              A
From seventeen, the only love I've known
A           A/G#         F#m
And I could place no one above him
   D             E        A
So beautiful and so naive alone

A        A/G#           F#m
I've not even called my family
D         A                    E
About the life that's 'bout to find me home
A          E                       F#m
  For many years, the lights would blind me
          D              E               A
But now I find they only want to lead me home

[Chorus]
      D           A           E
And I hope I'm as brave as my mother
      D                A             E
Wondering what kind of mother will I be?
         D            A       C#7             F#m
Hope she knows that I found a man far from my father
D       E         A
Sam, my baby, and me

[Bridge]
A A/G# F#m   D E A
A A/G# F#m E D E A

[Chorus]
      D           A           E
And I hope I'm as brave as my mother
      D                A             E
Wondering what kind of mother will I be?
         D            A       C#7             F#m
Hope she knows that I found a man far from my father
D       E         A
Sam, my baby, and me
          D       E         A  
It's just Sam, my baby, and me    (fade)
