[Chorus]
Am F
Mama Imma never stop talking to you
C G
Don't you ever stop talking back to me
Am F
I know you're tired, mama hold my hand
C G
Hold on tight for as long as you can
[Verse 1]
Am
I open my eyes, so that I can see
F
Open my mind, let my mind go free
C
Open my heart so that people can see
G
What kinda things have been bothering me
Am
It's been one long ride, and I finally plea
F
It's my last resort you don't need to agree
C
Weights to much, I can barely breath
G
My knees are giving in this is what I need
Am
It's been fifteen years, since my first scare
F
I remember that s***, cuz I was there
C
I dropped what I had in my hands didn't care
G
Left my teddy bear to approached mom
Am
Without any hair on her head, WHAT?
F
What you mean it disappeared?
C
Tears streaming down and it wet her cheek
G
She had built the courage, she needed to speak
Am
And the moment she had feared was suddenly there
F
She waved me over so I came over
C
She hugged me harder then I can remember anyone
G
Ever Hugging me
Am F
But that was actually the point in time that it all became so clear
C
The two minute silence and the two minute stare
G
Something was wrong but how do you prepare
Am
In a front row seat to the world premiere
F
Her burden unloaded, so she talking sincere
C
With a message for a kid that I didn't wanna hear
G
Take good care of the time left to share
Am
There's no good news, its a poisonous spare
F
Silence in the room but love in the air
C
Try to calm me down but it went to my head
G
This is what they told me, but this is what I said
[Chorus]
Am F
Mama Imma never stop talking to you
C G
Don't you ever stop talking back to me
Am F
I know you're tired, mama hold my hand
C G
Hold on tight for as long as you can
Am F
Mama Imma never stop talking to you
C G
Don't you ever stop talking back to me
Am F
I know you're tired, mama hold my hand
C G
Hold on tight for as long as you can
[Verse 2]
Am
Close my eyes, don't need to see
F
What my mind keeps showing me
C
Haunted dreams keep killing me
G
Collar on my neck God set me free
Am
It's dark in this mist but I'm going on
F
It's got me to my knees but I'm holding on
C
My hands tied up, God damn this rope
G
I refuse to give up but I'm losing hope
Am
Cuz when I go home this is what I meet
F
My mom on IV cuz she can't eat
C
Nothing I can do but take a seat
G
Start a conversation and hear her speak
Am
This might be the end, so when I gotta leave
F
Hold on to her hand for one more beat
C
Look her in the eye and I kiss her on the cheek
G
Rub her on the neck and I tuck her feet
Am
I bite my lip as I leave that room
F
It tears me up and it kills my mood
C
I'm a sensitive dude in the middle of a feud
G
Trying to stay in tune when I meet my platoon
Am
But its all to soon, for you to moon
F
I love you mom, give me one more noon
C
And in case I can't I'll still talk to you
G
Don't you ever stop talking back to me
Am
See this is what it come to, my final thought
F
Bought you flowers, hoping time is what you got
C
Music is timeless, if only I could stop
G
Time for a second, tell you how much you rock
Am
Doing your best always, easy or not
F
Always with a smile, and you're always there to talk
C
Now I'm all out of quarters and I almost forgot
G
Time is running out but my questions are not
[Chorus]
Am F
Mama Imma never stop talking to you
C G
Don't you ever stop talking back to me
Am F
I know you're tired, mama hold my hand
C G
Hold on tight for as long as you can
Am F
Mama Imma never stop talking to you
C G
Don't you ever stop talking back to me
Am F
I know you're tired, mama hold my hand
C G
Hold on tight for as long as you can
