Em D G D C Em D G C
[Verse 1]
Em D G
I know you don't like me
C G
Don't like the things I do
Em D G
The saddest part just might be
C D
That I don't like you too
Em D G
You think you know my story
C G
Well maybe you did for a little while
Em D G
I guess that's the way it sometimes goes
C G
Between a mother and a child
Em D G
All my life you've reminded me
C G
How you struggled nine long months
Em D G
Your achin' back and your swollen feet
C D
How you almost lost me once
Em D G
You say you gave up everything
C G
All the dreams you had
Em D G
Told us kids we're the only reason
C G
You stayed there with our dad
[Chorus]
C D G
And you want me to cry for you
C D G
You want me to feel the way you do
Em D G
I'm sorry your life let you down
C G
But the fault it is not mine
C G
It's not supposed to be like this
C G
Between a mother and a child
[Instrumental]
Em D G C
[Verse 2]
Em D G
You want me to just agree
C G
With everything you say
Em D G
Call my dad the bad guy
C D
Make him pay and pay and pay
Em D G
It's really not my business
C G
It never was or will ever be
Em D G
But I know nobody's perfect
C G
And that's counting you and me
C G
Yeah that's counting you and me
[Bridge]
Am7
I don't remember all that happened
G
Mama I was just a kid
C
But if it really was all that bad
D
Why do you wish I did?
[Chorus]
C D G
You want me to cry for you
C D G
I'll never feel the way you do
Em D G
I'm sorry your life let you down
C G
But the fault it was not mine
C G
It's not supposed to be like this
C G
Between a mother and a child
C G
Oh a mother and a child
C G
You're my mother and I'm your child
