Intro: A

Verse 1:
    A                                A
I warm my mornin' coffee up for the third time.
Gbm                                 Gbm
Ms. Rachel on the TV with their favorite nursery rhyme.
Bm                               Bm
Hot Wheels and little people under my feet.
E                                   E
Baby's cryin', it's pure chaos but I don't miss a beat.

Verse 2:
A                                   A
Always knew that a 9 to 5 wouldn't suit me very good
Gbm                                      Gbm
But my hours are extended, that's just motherhood
  Bm                          Bm
I never knew this is what my twenties would look like.
         E                                   E
But they saved me before I had the chance to waste my life

Chorus:
D                                  D
Some days I want to cry, run away and hide
          A                       E
But I'd worry about their every need
D                         D
When I'm overhwhelmed and touched out,
         D                 D
they come climbing up on the couch saying,
A                             E
"Mama, can you open my string cheese?".
Bm                                      E
I smile because I know meeting their needs fills my soul
Bm                        E              A
And being their Mama is who I'm meant to be.

Verse 3:
A                                       A
One day I'll be alone with a hot fresh cup of Joe
A                                D
Wishing that someone would just drop by.
A                                  A
And I'll sit and reminisce, on times that I sure miss
A                             D
Scattered toys and a baby on my hip.
Bm                                         Bm
I thought finding peace in the quiet's what I wanted.
D                                        D
But I'd do anything to go back to being needed.

Chorus:
D                                  D
To those days I want to cry, run away and hide
          A                      E
But I'd worry about their every need
           D                     D
And when I'm overhwhelmed and touched out,
         D                         D
they come climbing up on the couch saying,
A                                E
"Mama, can you open my string cheese?".
Bm                                      E
I smile because I know meeting their needs fills my soul
Bm                        E
And being their Mama is who I'm meant to be.
