Bb
I remember the pain in my mother's eyes
Bb                                    Dm      C
I remember the pain of her compromise years ago
Bb
I always wanted to help to make it go away
Bb                                               Dm  C
I didn't know it was her freedom that she needed so
Bb              C     Bb       Gm
And she said to me, she said to me

He hitch-hiked to Maine
F                     Bb
We went cross-country
                      Bb
I had to leave my home
                      Dm

I never knew what to say to anybody

I didn't know what to do, I was far too young
Bb
But everybody could feel the suffocation
Bb                               Dm   C
Underneath for facade of a happy home
Bb              C     Bb       Gm
And she said to me, she said to me
