AmCG
She was so young with such innocent eyes
AmCG
She always dreamt of a fairytale life
AmCG
And all the things that your money can't buy
AmCE
She thought that he was a wonderful guy
AmCG
Then suddenly, things seemed to change
AmCG
It was the moment she took on his name
AmCG
He took his anger out on her face
AmCGE
She kept all of her pain locked away
[Chorus]
AmC
Oh mother, we're stronger
G
From all of the tears you have shed
AmC
Oh mother, don't look back
G
'Cause he'll never hurt us again
AmC
So mother, I thank you
G
For all you've done and still do
AmC
You got me, I got you
AmCG
Together we always pull through
E
We always pull through
G
We always pull through
CE
Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother
[Verse 2]
AmCG
It was the day that he turned on his kids
AmCG
That she knew she just had to leave him
AmCG
So many voices inside of her head
E
Saying over and over and over,
GC
"You deserve much more than this."
AmCG
She was so sick of believing the lies and trying to hide
E
Covering the cuts and bruises (cuts and bruises)
AmC
So tired of defending her life, she could have died
G
Fighting for the lives of her children
[Chorus]
AmC
Oh mother, we're stronger
G
From all of the tears you have shed
AmC
Oh mother, don't look back
G
'Cause he'll never hurt us again
AmC
So mother, I thank you
G
For all you've done and still do
AmC
You got me, I got you
AmCG
Together we always pull through
E
We always pull through
G
We always pull through
CE
Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother
[Bridge]
A
All of your life you have spent
GC
Burying hurt and regret
AmE
But mama, he'll never touch us again
A
For every time he tried to break you down
GC
Just remember who's still around
AmC
It's over, and we're stronger
EG
And we'll never have to go back again
[Chorus]
AmC
Oh mother, we're stronger
G
From all of the tears you have shed
AmC
Oh mother, don't look back
G
'Cause he'll never hurt us again
AmC
So mother, I thank you
G
For all you've done and still do
AmC
You got me, I got you
AmCG
Together we always pull through
E
We always pull through
G
We always pull through
CE
Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother
