Forgive Me Mother

C  F  Am  G  G

         C
Saw you there in the  bottom
       F
Of an old empty bottle
    C        G
Again and again
     F                          C          Am
Hold back the truth and let the heart ache in
    G                   F       C
Forgive me mother, fore I have sinned.

          C         F
Cold old house that once was our home
              C                      G
It ain't the same since you've been gone
        F                 C       Am
But I close my eyes and there you are
    G                      F         C
Forgive me mother, fore I bare the scars.

              F                 Am
From broken glass, stuck in my hands
        F                Am               G
On my knees, 'cause it's more than I can stand
         C            F
To wake up, break of day
        Am           G
knowing nothing is okay.
         C           F
I will smile and pretend
       Am              G
When I go to see my friends
             C                    F
That I'm alright, that I've moved on
         Am              G
I'm not stuck here in a song
         F            G           C
That I wrote - about you - about you.

           C                   F
Now I've spent my time on a straight and narrow
        C               G
But I'm bare-ly holding on
      F
I'll rise with the morn
    C         G     Am
I'm your wayfaring son
    G                   F           C
Forgive me mother, for what I have done.

               F                  Am
'Cause I can't calm these shaking hands
        F                Am               G
On my knees, 'cause it's more than I can stand
         C           F
To wake up, break of day
        Am           G
knowing nothing is okay.
         C           F
I will smile and pretend
       Am              G
When I go to see my friends
            C                F
That I'm alright, I've moved on
         Am              G
I'm not lost here on my own
         F  G          C
Without you - without you.

           F
Break of day
        Am           G
Knowing nothing is okay.
         C           F
I will smile and pretend
       Am              G
When I go to see my friends
            C                 F
That I'm allright, I've moved on
         Am             G
I'm not lost here in a song
       F  G        C
About you - about you.
