[Verse 1]
   Bb
Mama I know this wasn't part of the plan
            Dm
I’m not the son you wanna show to your friends
           Gm                           F
I know you think that I'm less of a man
                 Eb
But you won't say it… Say it

[Verse 2]
           Bb
I know you think you do the best that you can
                Dm
I think there’s parts of you, you don't understand
            Gm                            F
You make me question everything that I am
                Eb
Till I can't say it… Say it

[Chorus]
Bb
You took my voice like I owed it to you
F
Buried the boy that I still hold onto
Gm                 Dm         Eb
Take the rest of me, why don't you?
Bb
You close the door I held open for you
F
Made me ashamed of who I've turned into
Gm                 Dm         Eb
Take the rest of me, why don't you?
Ebm              Bb
   Yeah, why don't you

[Verse 3]
          Bb
Mama, this house you made was never a home
            Dm
Did you love us or love the control?
               Gm                     F
Maybe it's best we all learn to let go
                Eb
But we can’t say it (So I’ll say it)

[Verse 4]
           Bb
I painted smiles over all the abuse
            Dm
Cause I was young and that's what kids do
             Gm                       F
I was protecting my mom from the truth
                Eb       Ebm
But now i’ll say it... Say it

[Chorus]
Bb
You took my voice like I owed it to you
F
Buried the boy that I still hold onto
Gm                 Dm         Eb
Take the rest of me, why don't you?
Bb
You close the door I held open for you
F
Made me ashamed of who I've turned into
Gm                 Dm         Eb
Take the rest of me, why don't you?
    Dm
Yeah, why don't you

[Bridge]
Gm    G5              Eb
 God knows we know ‘almost’
Gm
 God knows we know ‘almost'

[Instrumental]
Bb Dm Gm Dm Eb Ebm

[Verse 4]
              Bb
I worked so hard to be your gentleman

Left so many things unsaid
   F
Tried to be your best friend
              Gm
Until the walls were fucking caving in
Dm
Closets, spilling skeletons
Eb                Ebm
When does it ever end?
Bb   Dm
Mama, mama, mama(Mama)
               Gm       F
When does it end?(Mama, mama)
Bb    Ebm
Mama? Mama!

[Outro]
      Bb                          Dm
You took my voice like I owed it to you

Buried the boy that I still hold onto
Gm                Dm        Bb      A Bb G
Take the rest of me, why don't you?
