[Verse 1]
C                                       F                C
Things are gettin' better but right now it's not looking great
   C                                G
My ceiling still is spinning from a night that went too late
   C                                 F               C
I used to sleep this off and let the shame just melt away
    C                             G              C
But not for tiny feet in hallways calling out my name

[Chorus]
     F                                     C
It's not that I don't love you, I wouldn't touch the hands of time
     F                                  G             G
It's not that I don't long to feel your tiny hand in mine
    C                                  F           C
I'm not a perfect woman, Lord, I don't wish it all away
   F            G       C
My name can't be Mama today

[Verse 2]
C                             F               C
Today I didn't listen to the voice inside my head
   C                                 G         C
I peeled out of the driveway left my family in bed
C                                   F                     C
Know it wouldn't be easier to just quit the road and stay home
     C                             G               C
I'd lose myself inside the halls, unsatisfied and alone

[Verse 3]
F                               C
Sometimes all I want is to run back to you at night
    F                             G
To rock you to sleep, to keep the blues out of your eyes
    C                                F             C
I'm not the kind of woman that would throw it all away
       C            G     C
But my name can't be Mama today

[Verse 4]
   D                             G              D
I drive my mother crazy out here traveling the world
      D                            A
Free-wheeling in the city, I'm a solitary girl
     D                            G                  D
I'm living in the moment, knowing there might come a day
        D                A  D
But my name can't be Mama today, uh-uh


[Chorus]
     G                                D
It's not that I don't want to, I just don't want to today
     G                           A
I'm not a fan of mornings and I love my chardonnay
    D                              G          D
No, I'm not saying never, I won't wish it all away
        D           G       D
But my name can't be Mama today, oh no
    D           G      D
My name can't be Mama today
