Tom: D

D
Mama, I'll be okay
               G
I'm still your little girl at the end of the day
     A                                         D
Your arms are still the ones I run to when I'm scared

And Mama, don't cry
      G
These rusty wings of mine have gotta learn how to fly
    A                   A7          D
But don't stay up, I'll be home soon

[Refrain]
D7       D                     G
Mmm, and growin' up is hard to do
                        A                     D
But my heart will never outgrow its fondness over you

[Verse 2]
D
Mama, I hope you know
            G
That when I pack my suitcase, I'm not off on my own
         A             A7
Because I know I got a piece of you here
    D
And Mama, don't sigh
               G
When I have to call you and ask how clothin' dries
        A                A7
Because you're still the smartest woman I know

[Refrain]
D7       D                     G
Oh, and growin' up is hard to do
                        A                     D
But my heart will never outgrow its fondness over you

[Bridge]
D    G
Ooh, ooh-ooh
        A
Ooh, ooh

Mmm
D    G
Mmm, mmm-mmm
        A
Ooh, ooh

Mmm

[Verse 3]
D
Mama, before I end this song
             G
You've given me everything to be proud of
       A                    A7
And it wouldn't be complete without a cordial thanks
D
Tenacious and complex
              G
You've always chosen to see the best and
              A                     A7                            D
These are the lessons I can tell my little ones I learned from you

[Refrain]
D7                             G
Mmm, and growin' up is hard to do
                        A                         D
But my heart will never outgrow its fondness over you
 D7                            G
Ooh, and growin' up is hard to do
                        A                A7       D
But my heart will never outgrow its fondness over you
