You Mama You

Tom: G

G
When I was young and pushed around
C
And beaten up and beaten down
G                           D
Who'd I run to mama tell me who

Verse (G   C  G  D  G)
And as I grew to be a man
And all the world held such élan
I did what I thought I just had to do

Chorus (C  G D  /  G  C  G  D  G):
C                                 G
It was you mama you, it was you all along
G                                  D
It was you I ran away from I was wrong
G
And if I could I'd change my life
C
I swear to god I'd cut it out with a knife
G                       D                   G
And with a glue stick I'd reapply it in a song

Verse (G   C  G  D  G)
And laid back kerouac never no a heart attack
Drinking and thinking about the place that he ran back to
The moloch is an old man the moloch is a love-lack
Bending for a quick snack remembering his friend jack
And mama sometimes i remember you

Chorus (C  G  D  /  G  C  G  D  G):

Bridge (Bb  F  G  / F  G  F  C  G)
Bb        F     G
Man loves woman
Mother loves child
F                    G
Sometimes I call my lady mama
F                C             G
So I can feel at home for a while
So I can feel at home for a while

Verse (G   C  G  D  G)
Looking around at all the mellencamp towns
The excuses and the nooses where the coffee grounds
I found places and traces of a storybook world
And i went out there for a ride
On the misty coast but the holy host
Is under mickey d's american flag and it's unfurled
