The F#m in the chorus can be replaced with Dmaj7 if required. :) [Verse 1: Dom McLennon]

Dmaj7
My momma said I didn't come into this world with tears

Instead I welcome her with open eyes and open ears

Am7
But came to grew a few things that couldn't be repaired

Em
We saw a future in each other, bend and hope the fear

Dmaj7
Some things you don't get to decide, it's just a phase you share

I used to try and hold the weight, that shit was need to bear

Am7
Watched uncles going on vacation for a couple years

Em
When they came back, thеy needed clothes, they had no souvеnirs

Dmaj7
I picked up the phone, they callin' us from correction

But nothin' is wrong, it's fillin' my heart with questions

Am7
My momma is home, I'm followin' her expressions

Em
Her droppin' the tone, some things that she had to mention

Dmaj7
I nodded, I listened, she had all of my attention

"When you on your own, there's gonna be some directions

Am7
I need you to follow, and never make an exception"

Em
I love that she held me and wished I would be protected

[Chorus: Joba & Kevin Abstract]

F#m
You always used to tell me

                      Am7
I could be anything I wanna be

         Em
But it's hard to see, it's hard to be

F#m
You always used to tell me

                      Am7
I could be anything I wanna be

Em
But it's hard to see, it's hard to be

[Verse 2: Matt Champion]

Dmaj7
On my sucker-free shit since I was a fetus

Pullin' up at the doc' in a Mazda sixty-sixty

Am7
And my dad was trippin' bad, hit the gas like car chase

Em
Light blue in the back, momma gettin' late for pay

Dmaj7
Dropped my sister at the bozo house, was twenty-three

Sweat drippin' down the face side, river runnin' free

Am7
Dark mornin' with the fog pourin' in and out the trees

Em
Every moment through they eyes

Seemin', zoomin' lightspeed before me

Dmaj7
She lost, but still want tragedy

Grittin' her teeth down to the root, pain, it like cavity

Am7
Hold her hands like they glue, radio channel on news

Em
Valentine's with a X up on the calendar, they knew

Dmaj7
I won't be a fuckin' baller like them posters on the wall

A little stain can be the beauty in it all

Am7
I missed out of trouble, must your luck was rubbin' off

Em
Stickin' to you like moss, you my Kate, you my rock

Forever [Chorus: Joba & Kevin Abstract]

F#m
You always used to tell me

                      Am7
I could be anything I wanna be

         Em
But it's hard to see, it's hard to be

F#m
You always used to tell me

                      Am7
I could be anything I wanna be

         Em
But it's hard to see, it's hard to be

[Bridge]

Dmaj7
Here I go, I'm gonna spread my wings

All grown up like go and look at me

Am7
You'll always be (You'll always be)

Em
A part of me (A part of me)

Dmaj7
Here I go, I'm gonna spread my wings

All grown up and blowing up, go look at me

Am7
You'll always be (You'll always be)

Em
A part of me (A part of me)

[Outro] That's why

  Dmaj7                       Am7
A part of me, a part of me, a part of me

  Em            Dmaj7
A part of me, a part of me, a part of me

  Am7           Em
A part of me, a part of me

That's why Dmaj7 Am7 Em
