Am
Every night I go
                    Em
Every night I go sneaking out the door
   E                           Am
I lie a little more, baby I’m helpless

Am                           
There's something ‘bout the night
                      Em  
And the way it hides all the things I like
          E
Little black butterflies
       Am
Deep inside me

Chorus
               Dm
What would my mama do
  Am
(oh oh oh oh)
                  Em       E
If she knew ‘bout me and you?
Am
(oh oh oh oh) 

             Dm
What would my daddy say
   Am
(oh oh oh oh)
              Em       E
If he saw me hurt this way?
Am
(oh oh oh oh)

Why should I feel ashamed?
Feeling guilty at the mention of your name
Here we are again
It’s nearly perfect

Chorus
What would my mama do
(oh oh oh oh)
If she knew ‘bout me and you?
(oh oh oh oh)
What would my daddy say
(oh oh oh oh)
If he saw me hurt this way?
(oh oh oh oh)

What would my mama do
What would my daddy say

(Here I play E up a fret, then move it back down for the first two lines) 

All the things a girl should know
Are the things she can’t control
All the things a girl should know

Am
she can’t control
