Mothers by Lilli Furfaro
Mothers
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 4th fret
Key: B
[Verse]
B
little boy, who loves you like the sea?
F#
what mother here could carry you
E B
and cradle you and hold you like she does?
[Verse 2]
B
little boy, who holds you when you sleep?
F#
what voices come to comfort you
E B
in lonely rooms with blood between you teeth?
[Chorus]
B
well mothers, they may come and go
N.C.
like waves and tides, they ebb and flow,
F#
but that’s okay, ‘cause you have learned
N.C.
to speak in tongues that aren’t your own
G#m
when the others gape and grin
N.C.
at monster fangs and monster skin
N.C.
you know your tongue will always win
N.C.
you know your tongue will always win
[Verse 3]
B
you thought you found a father on the sea
F#
what father here could teach you,
E B
care for you, notice you like he does?
[Verse 4]
G#m E
then another man who called you his friend
G#m
made sure you’d never see him again
N.C.
and as you sank
E F# G#m
you knew why they called you a stone
[Verse 5]
G#m
little boy who whispers when you dream?
G#m
what voices talk of giving you real power
C#m B F#
where you’ve never had control?
[Verse 6]
G#m
little boy, you know it’s hard to breathe
G#m
the water here will drown you
C#m B F#
running out of you like blood between your teeth
[Chorus]
G#m
well fathers, they may come and go
N.C.
like waves and tides, they ebb and flow
N.C.
but that’s okay, ‘cause you have learned
N.C.
to use a power that’s not your own
E
when your dealer’s cashing in
N.C.
uncertainty beneath your skin
N.C
you pray that it will never win
N.C
you pray that it will never win
[Interlude]
B F# E B F# B F# E B
[Verse 7]
B
little boy, who loves you like the sea?
F#
what mother here would wait for you,
E B
call to you, love you like she does?
[Chorus]
B
well mothers, they may come and go
N.C.
like waves and tides, they ebb and flow
F#
but now you’ve found a mother
N.C.
who’s convinced you that you’ve found a home
E
when your will is wearing thin
N.C
you feel the ocean deep within
N.C
and know that she will always win
B
you know that she will always win
