[Verse]
Fm Eb Ab
What would a mother not do for her child
Gb Db
What lengths would a mother not go
Fm Eb Ab
There’s a bond that exists between mother and child
Gb Fm
With no end to how strong it can grow
Db Gb
It’s a promise for life between mother and child
Ab Fm
It begins from the moment of birth

And you're shaken you to your soul
Ebdim7
With an ache you’ve never known

And you look into their eyes
C7 Caug
And find you’re looking in your own
[Chorus]

And there’s a pain you can’t imagine
Db C
A special kind of torture you can feel
Fm Eb
A cut that bleeds from somewhere deep inside you

A past regret you can not heal

And no one guesses all the while you’re praying
Bbm Fm
The screaming little stranger in your arms
Fm Eb Db C7 Fm Dbmaj7
Might just grow up and save you after all
Fm Eb Db C Fm Eb Fm Eb
Might just grow up and save you after all

What would a mother not do for her child

And child and it only goes deeper with time

And to break it there’s no greater pain

With an ache that can’t erase

Like the tears you never cried

But still keep scrubbing off your face

Cause there’s a pain you can’t imagine
Db C
A little talk that keeps you wide awake
Fm Eb
That somehow turns to bold determination

That you won't ever make the same mistake

Assuring that her talent, poise, and charm

Some dreams die upon the vine

Some they never have a chance

Sweeter than the sweetest wine

That mine becomes the Queen of France
[Chorus]
Gm F
And there's relief you can’t imagine

That fills up every sinew, bone, and nerve

To know that you can get out of this hellhole

And finally live the life that you deserve

And suddenly the past you knew would haunt you

And all of the regret you didn’t show

There’s a bond that exists between mother and child

Ah, but then again
Gm
How would you know?
