"Things are different today," I hear every mother say
                                         F     D
Mother needs something today to calm her down
           G                               C      C/B    Am
And though she's not really ill, there's a little yellow pill
         Am                             D7
She goes running for the shelter of her mother's little helper
       Em
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day

"Things are different today", I hear every mother say
                                          F      D
Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag
       G                            C       C/B    Am
So she buys an instant cake and she burns a frozen steak
         Am                             D7
And goes running for the shelter of her mother's little helper
       Em
And to help her on her way, get her through her busy day

"They're so hard to satisfy", you can tranqui lize your mind
      Am                              D7
So go running for the shelter of your mother's little helper

And four help you through the night, help to minimize your plight

And if you take more of those, you will get an over dose

No more running for the shelter of a mother's little helper

They just helped you on your way through your busy dying day
