Mother

Adam Gontier: Mother
Standard Tuning (EADGBE)
Very easy song to learn, instead of Em you can play Em7 and instead of C you can 
play a Cadd9 chord, which in my opinion sounds better. The strumming pattern is 
pretty fast but use whatever works. Please if you find corrections leave a comment thank you.

Chords to know: Em, C, G, A, B

Intro:
 
     Em    C    x2

Verse 1:

Em                              C
   Mother tell me why'd you have to fall

Em                             C
   Mother tell me why'd you have to break at all

Em                          C
   Mother show me a good way to live

Em                        C

Chorus:

G                                 C

   I've got no breath for denying

G                            C
   I've got so much locked up inside me

               A*                            B*
   Just like a lion, I've got to uncage it all

   And watch you run away

   Father tell me why didn't you let me know

Em                            C
   Father show me how to be a man

Em                                 C
   Instead of holding back tears as hard as I can
