Mamas (feat. Hillary Scott)

INTRO:
G    D    Em    C
 
VERSE:
                 G
I don’t know why God made one-bedroom
             D
Apartments out of state
                 Em7
I don’t know why He made hometowns
               C
If it’s somewhere I can’t stay
 
                G
I don’t know why He made growing up
              D
But I guess that we’re all gonna
                         Em7
Yeah, I don’t know a lot of things
                 C                                       C
But I know why God made mamas
  
CHORUS:
                 G
For the open arms to fall into
                   D
For the when you don’t know what to do
                    Em7              
For the phone call sayin’ don’t forget
             C
I’m always in your corner
 
                  G
For the heart that makes a house a home
                 D
For  the knowing that you’re not alone
                     Em
For the “Darling, don’t you dare give up
   C
Even when you wanna.”
 
                  C      D  Em                 G
Yeah, that’s why God made mamas
  
VERSE 2:
              G
For putting Band-aids on a scraped up knee
             D
And wiping tears away
     Em7            Em
For picking up the pieces
                         C
When that dream don’t go your way
 
                       G
For always giving more than taking
                   D
Always knowing what ya need
               Em7
And showing you that fighting’s
                  C
Always best done on your knees
 
 
CHORUS:
                 G
For the open arms to fall into
                   D
For the when you don’t know what to do
                    Em7              
For the phone call sayin’ don’t forget
             C
I’m always in your corner
 
                  G
For the heart that makes a house a home
                 D
For  the knowing that you’re not alone
                     Em
For the “Darling, don’t you dare give up
   C
Even when you wanna.”
 
                  C      D  Em                 G

I don’t know why God made living life
      D
Down here so hard to do
              Em                G
