It's funny how the same old crooked pictures

There ain't no use in sheding lonely tears mamma
Dm F(OPEN E)
There ain't no use in shouting at me pa

I love you but that hasn't helped at all
C Am G F(OPEN E)
Each of us must do the things that matter
C Am G F(OPEN E)
All of us must see what we can see
C Am G F(OPEN E)
It was long ago you must remember
C Am G F(OPEN E)
You were once as young and scared as me
G C G
I don't know how hard it is yet mamma
Dm F(OPEN E)
When you relaize you're growning old
G C G
I know how hard is not to be younger

I know you've tried to keep me from the cold
C Am G F(OPEN E)
Thanks for all you done it may sound hollow
