[Verse] 
         Am            Am7
Now the dirt is washed away
    E             E7
And all alibis are out
        D                 D7           Am            Am7
And the hand that used to heal me only cursed me now.
    Am          Am7           E E7
The echoes of a woman so kind
          D               D7                          Am Am7
Rain like waterfalls and ice-cream on my worried mind.
  Am               Am7          E    E7
I lay there in the puddle of myself
        D                D7             Am              Am7
Fishing for a brand new wish from that bucket down the well.
    Am        Am7                 E E7
And in her colors I find my faith,
        D             D7              Am          Am7
Cause I remember every word that lady used to say.
[Chorus]
              E                      F
She said that hearts can't break themselves
             D7                       D7
Looking for something, leaving with nothing
      E               F
But souls can save themselves 
            D7      D7                 Am  Am7
Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine!
[Bridge]
E    E7                       D    D7
     Be a long home without you
Am      Am7                                Am Am7
     It's just a long way home without you
   E  E7        D D7 Am Am7
Yeah,        yeah!
[Verse]
          Am               Am7
That's my mother, like no other,
        E              E7
Made me human, made me brother
         D                       D7          Am             Am7
Hands would swell and they would blister for my sake and my sisters
     Am            Am7            E               E7
The guardian of my karma, keep my feet on terra firma
             D   D7                      Am Am7
And then release me like a scion to the sky!
[Chorus]
              E                      F
She said that hearts can't break themselves
             D7                       D7
Looking for something, leaving with nothing
      E               F
But souls can save themselves 
            D7     D7
Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine!

[Verse]
       Am            Am7
Sister, you have some hungry eyes
E                E7
And by back you're hypnotized
D               D7
Smiling faces in disguise
Am             Am7
By back you're hypnotized.
Am            Am7
Keep going against the grain
E                 E7                   D             D7
   And soon that's all, soon that's all you'll know
               Am               Am7
And soon that's all you'll know
N.C.                       
And let's get this straight
Am                  Am7               E               E7
   Sometimes you'll rise, and there's time you'll fall
        D               D7
After all, you're just blood and bones
                 Am        Am7
And you don't owe no one nothin'
                Am        Am7
No, you don't owe no one
                  E                 E7
So don't live like one price is right,
                   D                  D7                      Am Am7
Cause there is some things in your life that you can't fight!
[Chorus]
              E                    F
She said that hearts can't break themselves
               D7                     D7
Looking for something, wind up with nothing
     E                Dm
But souls can save themselves
            D7     D7
Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine!
