Intro: B E

Verse 1:
B                       E
  I bet you could've used a minute
Abm                    Gb
    Just a little time alone
B                             E
  But you let me be your little shadow
Abm                    Gb
Following wherever you would go
B                   E
  Then I got a little older
Abm              Gb
  And you gave me space to grow
B                      E
  I don't ever seem to tell you enough but
Abm            Gb
  I want you to know

Chorus:
     E            Gb
When God made you my mother
Abm             Gb
He knew who I'd need
        E                   Gb
When he picked you from the others
         Abm     Gbsus4
He could already see
Gb      E               Gb
   That you would be my hero
    Abm                  Gbsus4
And everything I want to be

He was being good to mе

Verse 2:
B                           E
  I come to you with all my secrets
Abm                   Gb
  And you never, ever judge
B                            E
  And when I'm falling in my weakness
Abm                             Gb
  You give me strength to stand back up
B                          E
  No amount of miles could separate us
Abm                           Gb
  No place where I don't feel your love
B                                  E
  You say I'm the gift that heaven gave you
Abm               Gb
But I'm the lucky one

When God made you my mother
Abm             Gb
He knew who I'd need
        E                   Gb
When he picked you from the others
         Abm     Gb
He could already see
Gb      E               Gb
   That you would be my hero
    Abm                  Gb
And everything I want to be
Gb     E               Gb
  When God madе you my mother
       Abm   Gb      B  E  Abm  Gb
He was being good to mе
