[Intro]
A D E A

[Verse 1]
                   A
Well here's what I know
                D
Even when she's sleepin'
            E              A
She's still dreamin' about you
                        A
That's the way that it goes
                D
Even when she's laughin'
               E                                     A
Part of her is worryin' 'bout somethin' she didn't do

[Chorus 1]
         F#m                       E                          A
She only sits for a minute, she's a hummin' bird in the livin' room
         F#m                        E                          D
She's a silhouette smilin' with the weight of the world on her chest
       F#m             E               D
She'll move a mountain for you by the afternoon
  D         E       A
A mother ne-ever re-ests


[Verse 2]
              A
She works in colors
                 D
It's her and the sun
          E                               A
Wakin' up early, bringin' light to everyone
                   A
She's countin' on angels
                        D
And she's hopin' they're there
                  E                                                      A
But just in case, every time she says your name it's like a little prayer


[Chorus 2]
            F#m                   E                      D
And there's wishin' stars for the hurt and band-aids for how it feels
        F#m                E                    D
And the nightlight's on so even the sun gets to set
        F#m                    E                         D
She's a stubborn believer that time and a clean house is how you heal
     D         E       F#m
So a mother ne-ever re-ests


[Bridge]
                                 D
There ain't a broken bone or a birthday that she'll forget
F#m                             D
     She bit her lip and didn't cry the day your hatchback left
A                                         D
      And when you hurt she hurts, that's how it is
        D               E
That's how it is, I guess


[Outro]
              A
Here's what I know
              D
Even when I'm sleepin'
          E                        A
I'm still dreamin' all about you
