Misc Originals – Biddy Mccarthy - Without A Mothers Heart (Guitar)

G            C
she’s always there,

G                D
but never really present,

G            C
a shell of a mother,

G             D
a ghost of a parent,

G               C
she had her own demons,

G                  D
her own battles to fight,

G                C
but we were only kids,

G                 D
and we needed her light,

Am
where we’re you,

        D
when we needed you most,

Am
why’d you leave us,

Em
to fend for our own,

Am
we were just children,

    D
who needed your love,

Am
but you were too lost,

Em              D
to see what was wrong,

G           C
we tried to reach out,

G                C
to pull you back in,

G                C
but you were too gone,

G                D
lost in your own skin,

G                C
you had your own world,

G                D
your own ways to cope,

G                C
but we were just kids,

G                  D
and we needed your hope,

Am
where we’re you,

        D
when we needed you most,

Am
why’d you leave us,

Em
to fend for our own,

Am
we were just children,

    D
who needed your love,

Am
but you were too lost,

Em              D
to see what was wrong,

G          C
we grew up so fast,

G            D
without your guidance,

G             C
we learned to survive,

G            D
without your presence,

G              C
the scars will remain,

G           D
deep in our souls,

G             C
the pain of a mother,

G                    D
who was never really whole,

G
i forgive you,

    C                 D
for what you couldn’t give,

G           C
but i won’t forget,

G           D
what i have lived,

G*
i hope you find peace,

C*
wherever you are,

G*
i’ll always carry out,

D*
without a mother’s heart,
