Intro: G Gsus2 G G Bb Am9 G G

V1    
   G            Gsus2
Mother can you hold me together
        Bb           Am9      G
It's so dark and I'm losing my way
   G
It took all of these detours to find love
           Bb          Am9   G
But when I did it just faded away

Chorus:
    Em9      G             C          G
Now what do I do with this sweet love of mine
    Em9      G             F             D   
Do I give it away, and hope someday I'll find
        G        Am9        B-           C
Someone half as awake as the moon and the stars
       F           C
Mother teach me to love
                  G
With a paper thin heart

V2
   G            Gsus2
Mother your words are so healing
             Bb            A-           G
You speak of love, and of light, and of peace
         G
But I've made it my course to avoid you
        Bb              A-          G
Just to hide from these feelings of grief

Chorus:
    Em9      G             C          G
Now what do I do with this sweet love of mine
    Em9      G             F             D   
Do I give it away, and hope someday I'll find
        G        Am9        B-           C
Someone half as awake as the moon and the stars
       F           C
Mother teach me to love
                  G
With a paper thin heart


Chorus:
    Em9      G             C          G
Now what do I do with this sweet love of mine
    Em9      G             F             D   
Do I give it away, and hope someday I'll find
        G        Am9        B-           C
Someone half as awake as the moon and the stars
       F           C
Mother teach me to love
                  G
With a paper thin heart

V3
   G            Gsus2
Mother, I know you are with me
        Bb           A-        G
You were there when I took my first breath
   G
I can't stop looking back for the answers
       Bb          A-        G
I just keep coming up with regret
          Bb             A-           G
There are some things I just can't forget
