Verse 1:
    Bb         Gm7            Ebsus2      F 
You gave me a drawer in your kitchen
    Bb           Gm7         Ebsus2       F 
You gave me the room with a view of the yard
    Ebsus2    F             Bb5             Gm7
Whatever the hurt, you knew right where to kiss it
    Ebsus2                    F5
You gave me the best of your heart

Verse 2:
        Bb          Gm7           Ebsus2    F 
And you carried my rocks in your pocket
Bb           Gm7          Ebsus2     F 
Flowers and feathers and butterfly wings
Ebsus2      F         Bb5        Gm7
You had an answer for all of my questions
Ebsus2                   F5
You showed me wonderful things
 
Chorus:
  Ebsus2   F        Bb5          Gm7
I know      that it hasn’t been easy
  Ebsus2   F       Bb5            Gm7
I hope      that I love like you do
         Ebsus2   F           Gm7            Bb5
‘Cause I know       that this world would be better
   Ebsus2          F5
If everyone had a mother like you

Interlude -x2-: Bb   Gm7   Ebadd9   F 

Verse 3:
Bb            Gm7         Ebsus2    F 
You make the best macaroni
Bb        Gm7           Ebsus2       F 
We never cared that it came from a box
    Ebsus2      F            Bb5           Gm7
The mom in the stands always clapping her hands
        Ebsus2                      F5
Started cheering and still haven’t stopped

Verse 4:
        Bb            Gm7         Ebsus2     F 
And you held me when I came home crying
       Bb            Gm7            Ebsus2       F 
‘Cause someone said something that just wasn’t true


Ebsus2    F        Bb5                Gm7
I always said that Janelle was my best friend
    Ebsus2                   F5
But really it’s always been you

Chorus:
Ebsus2    F        Bb5           Gm7
I know      that I haven’t been easy
  Ebsus2   F       Bb5            Gm7
I hope      that I love like you do
         Ebsus2   F           Gm7            Bb5
‘Cause I know       that this world would be better
   Ebsus2          F5
If everyone had a mother like you


Bb   Gm7   Ebadd9   F 
                        Mother like you
Bb   Gm7   Ebadd9   F 


Ebsus2   F      Gm7   Bb5
Ebsus2          F5

Verse 5:
    Bb          Gm7        Ebsus2     F 
Our second was born in September
  Bb           Gm7            Ebsus2      F 
I still can’t believe I have kids of my own
  Ebsus2         F         Bb5             Gm7
I look in their eyes and I can’t help but wonder
    Ebsus2                     F5
Who will they be when they’re grown?
 
Chorus:
  Ebsus2   F        Bb5         Gm7
I know      it won’t always be easy
  Ebsus2   F      Bb5            Gm7
I hope      I can love like you do
         Ebsus2   F         Gm7          Bb5
‘Cause I know       that my kids will be better
Ebsus2          F          Gm7    Bb5
If they have a mother like you
Ebsus2     F          Gm7    Bb5
If I am a mother like you
Ebsus2          F 
‘Cause I had a mother like you
