Intro: Em D C

Verse:
Em            D                  C
She said that we don’t have to hug
Em            D                  C
She said that I don’t have to love
             Em                D                        C
And when she took my wrist and pushed me 'gainst the wall
                Em           D                   C
The look on her face made me afraid of who she was

Pre-chorus:
             Em          D                 C
And it's all okay 'cause it's all in my head
                Em            D                        C
And it's all my fault that my tears have stained the bed

Chorus:
                   Em
When I think of my mother
             D                C
I think of a guard holding me captive but not in her arms
                    Em                 D
When I think of her voice I think of a siren
           C
Constantly sounding after pulling the alarm
                Em                    D
I'm anxious and broken because of her words
               C
I’ll never get back the time I spent putting her first
                   Em                       D
When I think of my mother I'm often in tears
                  C
'Cause she is the reason for all of my fears

              Em D C
Why don’t you want me

Verse:
Em          D               C
How does it feel to be alone
               Em              D                 C
To call and to text once every year to ask me home
            Em             D            C
Do you ever hurt to cry or care I'm not around
           Em                D                 C
Do you not regret the little contact we have now

Pre-chorus:
             Em          D                 C
And it's all okay 'cause it's all in my head
                Em            D                        C
And it's all my fault that my tears have stained the bed

Chorus:
                   Em
When I think of my mother
             D                C
I think of a guard holding me captive but not in her arms
                    Em                 D
When I think of her voice I think of a siren
           C
Constantly sounding after pulling the alarm
                Em                    D
I'm anxious and broken because of her words
               C
I’ll never get back the time I spent putting her first
                   Em                       D
When I think of my mother I'm often in tears
                  C
'Cause she is the reason for all of my fears


Em D C
Mommy
              Em D C
Why don’t you want me
              Em D C
Why don't you want me
Em D C
Mommy
