C                                G              C
You taught me how to whistle and how to tie my shoes,
C                                G              C
And how to talk to Jesus in the darkness of my room.
             F
You held my hand when I got stitches,
            Am7            F              C
When one of Tommy Tyler's pitches hit my face.
            G                            Am                 F
One time I stole from your purse, then I lied and made it worse.
                 C
But you loved me anyway.

[Chorus]
        F                    C9
Growing up, I remember your amazing grace.
         F                            Am
I still feel your arms around me now and then.
            F            
I miss you wavin' from the front door
        C/E
I can't drive by there anymore,
Dm               C/E   F
'Cause no one'll ever love me,
G            C
Like that again.

C                                  G              C
You sent me all those letters when I went off to school.
C                                       G        C
I should've written you back but I was too busy being cool.
F
Funny how I couldn't wait, 
           Am7              F               C
To get you on the phone to say: "Mom, I'm in love."
          G                             Am          F
You were there whether or not I gave a little or a lot
          C
It was enough.

[Chorus]
        F                           C9
I can still hear you sayin' you're proud of me.
         F                         Am
And I remember thinkin' of you as my friend.
            F            
I miss you wavin' from the front door
        C/E
I can't drive by there anymore,
Dm               C/E   F
'Cause no one'll ever love me,
G            F  C/E
Like that again.

          G                                    Am
I guess I miss you more today cause it's your birthday,
                F                             C
And I couldn't bear for you to spend it here alone.
             D
Wish I could say this to your face,
            F                        G
Instead of talkin' to your name carved in stone.

[Chorus]
        F                           C9
I can still hear you sayin' you're proud of me.
           F                            Am
And I can feel your arms around me, now and then.
           F            
There's a hole in my heart
        C/E
In the shape of you, Mom.
Dm               C/E   F     C/E
'Cause no one'll ever love me,
Dm        C/E   F     G
No one'll ever love me,
            C
Like that again.
