Mama Said

Verse1: 
Dm                                Dsus4 Dm
Mama, she has taught me well,
C                              Am
Told me when 1 was young,
Dm                        Dsus4 Dm
"Son, your life's an open book,
         C                    Am    Asus4
Don't close it 'fore it's done."
Dm                                        Dsus4 Dm
The brightest flame bums quickest,
C                                 Am  Asus4
That's what 1 heard her say,
Dm                              Dsus4 Dm
A son's heart's owed to mother
     C                     Am
But I must find my way.

Refrain:
Dm Cadd9 Am   G
Let  my       heart go,
Dm Cadd9 Am G
Let   your     son grow.
           Dm Cadd9 Am   G
Mama, let    my       heart go,

"Rebel", my new last name,
C                      Am
Wild blood in my veins.
Dm                           Dsus4 Dm
Apron strings around my neck,
      C                    Am
The mark that still remains.
Dm                    Dsus4 Dm
I left home at an early age,
    C                         Am
Of what 1 heard was wrong.

1 never asked forgiveness

But what 1 said is done.

A mother's love for her son,

Unspoken, help me be.

And all the things you said to me, yeah.

But a cold stone's all I see.
