Mama Told Me

 D                              G             D
Mama told me "Don't be hasty!" Daddy said to wait.
 D                         A
"You got your whole life ahead."
    G                A
But in you walk and down I fall
  D         D/C# Bm            G                   A            D
Forget about my Ma and Pa and I don't think that I'll get over it
    D                           G             D
It takes a certain somebody to feed a hungry heart
     D                     A
and try to toss it to the wind.
   G                  A             D            D/C# Bm
I spread my wings to soar away and flew just like a rock they say
    G              A            D
and I been sinkin deeper ever since.

            G                                D
Why did you go? Why did you go? Why did you leave me all alone?
 G                    D    A
What am I supposed to do?
           G               D            G                     D
Why is it always give and take when it comes to hearts that break?
            G            A                Bm
Why did you go why do I still wait up for you?
            G            A                D
Why did you go why do I still wait up for you?

  D                          G                D
Before I heard you say it I might even have agreed.
      D                      A
That ship was headed out to sea.
      G                 A
But "goodbye" made me change my mind.
 D           D/C#  Bm
Who wants to get left behind?
     G                A                 D
I'm pretty sure that you're the one for me.

            G                                D
Why did you go? Why did you go? Why did you leave me all alone?
 G                    D    A
What am I supposed to do?
           G               D            G                     D
Why is it always give and take when it comes to hearts that break?
            G            A                Bm
Why did you go why do I still wait up for you?
            G            A                D
Why did you go why do I still wait up for you?

Bm                  Bm/Bb
Oh what a curse that you left me first,
           D                      Bm/G#
turned my indifferent heart into Shakespeare with words.
     G                               A
Who knew there'd be so many ways to say "I miss you".
     Bm                   Bm/Bb
and when I think clearer I bet you I'll say
   D                          Bm/G#                G
I didn't really like you that much anyway til you left me.
                 Gm
Still why'd you leave me?

Bm  Bm/Bb  D  Bm/G#  G  Gm  D

            G                                D
Why did you go? Why did you go? Why did you leave me all alone?
G                     D    A
What am I supposed to do?
           G               D            G                     D
Why is it always give and take when it comes to hearts that break?
            G            A                Bm  Bm/G#
Why did you go why do I still wait up for you?
            G                 A                D
Why did you go I don't think I'll wait up for you.
