the question is wouldn't mama be proud?
there's a silver lining in the corporate cloud
and the pretty post that you're taking as as an NCO
[Bridge:]
C D#
of the great pretender
Gm
i should sure think so
[Chorus:]
A# C D#
wouldn't mama be proud?
[Verse 2:]
Gm C D# A#
"can I take your order?" asks the heavenly host
ticket to the jetstream blowing coast to coast
the long stem glasses, a movie and a pleasant dream in mid air
[Bridge:]
C D#
"you gotta tell me quickly
Gm
'cos we're almost there"
[Chorus:]
A# C D#
wouldn't mama be proud?
[Break:]
D# D
pointed out of the window
A# C
at the sky gone black
D# D
"kid you're on the right track"
Gm C D# A# (2x)
[Verse 3:]
Gm C D# A#
if i send you postcards from the side of the road
photographs of moving parts about to implode
if i crawl to keep it together like you say you know i can do
[Bridge:]
C D#
to transmit a moment
Gm
from me to you
[Chorus:]
A# C D# Gm
wouldn't mama be proud?
wouldn't mama be proud?
wouldn't mama be proud?
wouldn't mama be proud?
