[Intro]
Am Em F C
[Verse 1]
EmI can't believe you Clove me
After all the things i've Amdone
CI think i've been the devil
Since the Emday that i've turned one
Like Fwhen I stole your money
Just to buy a pack of gum
I Cknow it wasn't funny
CCan't believe I was so dumb
[Pre Chorus]
I Amblame it on my age
But even now, I'm Bmnot so young
I'm Emstill stuck in my ways
I cant believe what I've become
SomeFhow, you feel the same
I guess that's motherly loveC  
Motherly Emlove
[Chorus]
AmWish I could find the piece in me
EmTo see the good things that you see
FIt's not that Ceasy
But if I saw me through your Ameyes
Maybe I could find a Emway
To forgive all of the Flies
And the stupid things I Csay
EmAnd if I could reaAmlize
That it's your blood that I Embleed
Maybe I could love myFself
Like the way that you love Cme
If I saw Emme through Cyour Ameyes
Your Emeyes
Through your Feyes
Through my Cmother's Emeyes
[Verse 2]
I can't Cbelieve you love me
After all the things I've didAm  
Like when I Emsaid I hated you when we were in Madrid
Like Fwhen I didn't answer you cause I was on the road
But you Ccooked my favorite dinner for me right Emwhen I get home
[Pre Chorus]
AmI blame it on my stress
Cause I've been Bmfeeling so high strung
I'm Emlooking for excuses
And I know that isn't one
SomeFhow, you feel the same
I guess that's motherly loveC  
Motherly Emlove
[Chorus]
AmWish I could find the piece in me
EmTo see the good things that you see
FIt's not that easy
            CNC              Am  
But if I saw me through your eyes
Maybe I could find a Emway
To forgive all of the Flies
And the stupid things I Csay
And if EmI cCould realize
That it's your blood that I Embleed
Maybe I could love Fmyself
Like the way that you love Cme
[Bridge]
If I saw Emme through your Ameyes
Your Emeyes
Through your Feyes
CThrough my mother's eyes
Through my BbmotCher's eyes
FThrough Cmy motherG's eyes
Through my CmotGher's Ameyes
Am F C
[Chorus]
CBut if I saw me through your Ameyes
Maybe I could find a Emway
To forgive all of the Flies
And the stupid things I Csay
And if EmI could reaAmlize
That it's your blood that I Embleed
Maybe I could love myFself
Like the way that you love Cme
If I Emsaw me through your Ameyes
Your Emeyes
Through your Ameyes
FThrough Cmy mother's Emeyes

[Intro]

Am Em F C

[Verse 1]

Em C

I can't believe you love me

After all the things i've done

I think i've been the devil

Since the day that i've turned one

Like when I stole your money

Just to buy a pack of gum

I know it wasn't funny

Can't believe I was so dumb

[Pre Chorus]

I blame it on my age

But even now, I'm not so young

I'm still stuck in my ways

I cant believe what I've become

Somehow, you feel the same

I guess that's motherly love

Motherly love

[Chorus]

Wish I could find the piece in me

To see the good things that you see

F C

It's not that easy

But if I saw me through your eyes

Maybe I could find a way

To forgive all of the lies

And the stupid things I say

Em Am

And if I could realize

That it's your blood that I bleed

Maybe I could love myself

Like the way that you love me

Em C Am

If I saw me through your eyes

Your eyes

Through your eyes

C Em

Through my mother's eyes

[Verse 2]

I can't believe you love me

After all the things I've did

Like when I said I hated you when we were in Madrid

Like when I didn't answer you cause I was on the road

C Em

But you cooked my favorite dinner for me right when I get home

[Pre Chorus]

I blame it on my stress

Cause I've been feeling so high strung

I'm looking for excuses

And I know that isn't one

Somehow, you feel the same

I guess that's motherly love

Motherly love

[Chorus]

Wish I could find the piece in me

To see the good things that you see

It's not that easy

C Am

But if I saw me through your eyes

Maybe I could find a way

To forgive all of the lies

And the stupid things I say

Em C

And if I could realize

That it's your blood that I bleed

Maybe I could love myself

Like the way that you love me

[Bridge]

Em Am

If I saw me through your eyes

Your eyes

Through your eyes

Through my mother's eyes

Bb C

Through my mother's eyes

F C G

Through my mother's eyes

C G Am

Through my mother's eyes

Am F C

[Chorus]

C Am

But if I saw me through your eyes

Maybe I could find a way

To forgive all of the lies

And the stupid things I say

Em Am

And if I could realize

That it's your blood that I bleed

Maybe I could love myself

Like the way that you love me

Em Am

If I saw me through your eyes

Your eyes

Through your eyes

F C Em

Through my mother's eyes
