[Verse 1]

    G         Em7            Csus2      D/F#
You gave me a drawer in your kitchen
    G           Em7         Csus2       D/F#
You gave me the room with a view of the yard
    Csus2    D/F#           G5             Em7
Whatever the hurt, you knew right where to kiss it
    Csus2                    D5
You gave me the best of your heart


[Verse 2]

        G          Em7           Csus2    D/F#
And you carried my rocks in your pocket
G           Em7          Csus2     D/F#
Flowers and feathers and butterfly wings
Csus2      D/F#       G5        Em7
You had an answer for all of my questions
Csus2                   D5
You showed me wonderful things


[Chorus]

  Csus2   D/F#      G5          Em7
I know      that it hasn’t been easy
  Csus2   D/F#     G5            Em7
I hope      that I love like you do
         Csus2   D/F#         Em7            G5
‘Cause I know       that this world would be better
   Csus2          D5
If everyone had a mother like you


G   Em7   Cadd9   D/F#
G   Em7   Cadd9   D/F#


[Verse 3]

G            Em7         Csus2    D/F#
You make the best macaroni
G        Em7           Csus2       D/F#
We never cared that it came from a box
    Csus2      D/F#          G5           Em7
The mom in the stands always clapping her hands
        Csus2                      D5
Started cheering and still haven’t stopped


[Verse 4]

        G            Em7         Csus2     D/F#
And you held me when I came home crying
       G            Em7            Csus2       D/F#
‘Cause someone said something that just wasn’t true

Csus2    D/F#      G5                Em7
I always said that Janelle was my best friend
    Csus2                   D5
But really it’s always been you


[Chorus]

Csus2    D/F#      G5           Em7
I know      that I haven’t been easy
  Csus2   D/F#     G5            Em7
I hope      that I love like you do
         Csus2   D/F#         Em7            G5
‘Cause I know       that this world would be better
   Csus2          D5
If everyone had a mother like you

G   Em7   Cadd9   D/F#
                        Mother like you
G   Em7   Cadd9   D/F#


Csus2   D/F#    Em7   G5
Csus2           D5


[Verse 5]

    G          Em7        Csus2     D/F#
Our second was born in September
  G           Em7            Csus2      D/F#
I still can’t believe I have kids of my own
  Csus2         D/F#       G5             Em7
I look in their eyes and I can’t help but wonder
    Csus2                     D5
Who will they be when they’re grown?


[Chorus]

  Csus2   D/F#      G5         Em7
I know      it won’t always be easy
  Csus2   D/F#    G5            Em7
I hope      I can love like you do
         Csus2   D/F#       Em7          G5
‘Cause I know       that my kids will be better
Csus2          D/F#        Em7    G5
If they have a mother like you
Csus2     D/F#        Em7    G5
If I am a mother like you
Csus2          D/F#
‘Cause I had a mother like you

G   Em7   Cadd9   D/F#
G   Em7   Cadd9   D        G
