Here are the Chords. After several hours listening to it, that's what i found out!
Intro:  G/  F/  C  
MotGher can you hold me together
It's so daFrk and I'm losCing my waGy
It Gtook all of these detours to find love
But when I Fdid it just fCaded awayG  
CHORUS:
Now Dwhat do I dGo with this swCeet love of miGne
Do I Dgive it awGay, and hope sFomeday I'll fiCnd
SomeGone half as Cawake as the Gmoon and the sCtars
Mother teFach me to loCve
With a paper thin heaGrt
Same chords until the end
Mother your words are so healing
You speak of love, and of light, and of peace
But I've made it my course to avoid you
Just to hide from these feelings of grief
Now what do I do with this sweet love of mine
Do I give it away, and hope someday I'll find
Someone half as awake as the moon and the stars
Mother teach me to love
With a paper thin heart
Now what do I do with this sweet love of mine
Do I give it away, and hope someday I'll find
Someone half as awake as the moon and the stars
Mother teach me to love
With a paper thin heart
Mother, I know you are with me
You were there when I took my first breath
I can't stop looking back for the answers
I just keep coming up with regret
There are some things I just can't forget
