Tom: C
C
Everyday you keep me safe, and
F C
warm, and loved, and fed,
C
But today's your special day,
G C
it was my turn instead.
C
So I got up at 5 a.m.
F C
I been working hard since then.
C
Some things I didn't get quite right
F C
next year I'll try again.
C
Just for you I did my best
F C
to cut my own hair
C
Some places came out pretty good
G C
And some are kind of bare.
C
I washed all your nicest clothes,
F C
But the washer wasn't free,
C
So I used the dish washer
G C
pretty smart of me.
[Chorus]
F G
Remember no one's perfect
C Am
every kid has faults
F G
Remember it's the thought that counts
C Am
More than the results.
F G
My heart was in the right place
C Am
even though I did it wrong
F G
It was all to say on mother's day
F G C
my love for you is strong!
[Verse 2]
C
I vacuumed really quietly
F C
I didn't use the power
C
I cleaned your dirty iPad screen,
G
I held it in the shower.
C
I painted all the cellings
F C
it was easy with the mop.
C
Now the carpets painted too
G C
With cool rainbow drops.
C
I answerd all your work emails
F C
with "just leave me alone."
C
And we gave the prince of
G
Scandinavia a loan.
C
I watered all the house plants
F C
with the garden hose
C
I forgot to turn it off
F C
sometimes that's how it goes
[Chorus]
F G
Remember no one's perfect
C Am
every kid has faults
F G
Remember it's the thought that counts
C Am
More than the results.
F G
My heart was in the right place
C Am
even though I did it wrong
F G
It was all to say on mother's day
F G C
my love for you is strong!
[Verse 3]
C
Your cars shiny inside out
F C
with lot's of olive oil.
C
Who knew that oatmeal splatters up
G
so high and far on boil.
C
I tried to make you orange juice
F C
but I spilled it on the floor.
C
I tried to fry you bacon
G C
We don't have a stove no more.
[Chorus]
F G
Remember no one's perfect
C Am
every kid has faults
F G
Remember it's the thought that counts
C Am
More than the results.
F G
My heart was in the right place
C Am
even though I did it wrong
F G
It was all to say on mother's day
F G C
my love for you is strong!
[Verse 4]
C
Since you can't really cook this week
F C
I called the pizza place.
C
I emptied out the fridge and freezer
G
so there's enough space.
C
They should be here any time
F C
2 dozen pizza pies.
C
I paid with your credit card
G C
I hope that you're surprized!
[Chorus]
F G
Remember no one's perfect
C Am
every kid has faults
F G
Remember it's the thought that counts
C Am
More than the results.
F G
My heart was in the right place
C Am
even though I did it wrong
F G
It was all to say on mother's day
F G C
my love for you is strong!
