                    Am                      C            G
She was so young with such innocent eyes

                    Am                      C            G
She always dreamt of a fairytale life

                    Am                      C               G
And all the things that your money can't buy

                    Am                      C            E
She thought that he was a wonderful guy

           Am                      C            G
Then suddenly, things seemed to change

                 Am               C                 G
It was the moment she took on his name

                    Am                      C            G
He took his anger out on her face

         Am                C      G        E
She kept all of her pain locked away
[Chorus]
  Am                  C
Oh mother, we're stronger

 G
From all of the tears you have shed

  Am                        C
Oh mother, don't look back

G
'Cause he'll never hurt us again

      Am            C
So mother, I thank you

G
For all you've done and still do

 Am             C
You got me, I got you

  Am         C                     G
Together we always pull through

                           E
We always pull through

                    G
We always pull through

                    C                E
Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother
[Verse 2]
                    Am                      C            G
It was the day that he turned on his kids

                    Am                      C            G
That she knew she just had to leave him

                    Am                      C            G
So many voices inside of her head

                            E     
Saying over and over and over,

 G                                             C
"You deserve much more than this."

 Am                          C                               G
She was so sick of believing the lies and trying to hide

E
Covering the cuts and bruises (cuts and bruises)

                    Am                             C
So tired of defending her life, she could have died

 G
Fighting for the lives of her children
[Chorus]
  Am                  C
Oh mother, we're stronger

 G
From all of the tears you have shed

  Am                        C
Oh mother, don't look back

G
'Cause he'll never hurt us again

      Am            C
So mother, I thank you

G
For all you've done and still do

 Am             C
You got me, I got you

  Am         C                     G
Together we always pull through

                           E
We always pull through

                    G
We always pull through

                    C                E
Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother
[Bridge]
                  A
All of your life you have spent

G                          C
Burying hurt and regret

      Am                          E
But mama, he'll never touch us again

                 A   
For every time he tried to break you down

G                                 C
Just remember who's still around

Am                 C
It's over, and we're stronger

E                                                  G
And we'll never have to go back again
[Chorus]
  Am                  C
Oh mother, we're stronger

 G
From all of the tears you have shed

  Am                        C
Oh mother, don't look back

G
'Cause he'll never hurt us again

      Am            C
So mother, I thank you

G
For all you've done and still do

 Am             C
You got me, I got you

  Am         C                     G
Together we always pull through

                           E
We always pull through

                    G
We always pull through

                    C                E
Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother
