Chords

[Verse 1]
C                    Am
slow breathing and a careful embrace

          C                    Am
you first held me when i was a baby

C                   Am
bright lights and a hospital bed

   C                         Am
26 years and your own little lady
[Pre-Chorus]
 Am
"she looks like Tom," you hear them say

Em                      G
as they take me away to clean me off

Am
but there;s no doubt that i'm yours

Em                Am      G
13 hours made you sure of that
[Chorus]
C              Am
hello mom, i'm finally here

                      Em          F
it took 10 months but i'm here to stay

C                    Am
hold me tightly, i'm not going to break

                                  F
i'm just happy that i'm here with you

         Am         Em     C
and what more could anyone want?
[Verse 2]
C                    Am
warm summer days and family walks

C                                 Am
you paint my nails while you feed Kati

C                          Am
you're doing your best but 2 little girls

C                                 Am
are a lot of things, but it ain't easy
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
sleepless nights, full of tears

Em
can't fast forward 18 years

     G
just wait it out

Am
"it won't be easy," that you know

Em                                    G              F
you wish that people were helping you more than they are
[Chorus]
              C          Am
but you hear "hello mom, it's time for bed,

       Em                  F
can we tell you all of our stories?"

C                   Am
hold us tightly, we silently plead

Em                    F
while we drift off to sleep

        F            G            C
and you think, "what more could I want?"
[Bridge]
Am
the years go by and another girl

Em
"welcome to my busy world," you think

Am
the eldest, stubborn as can be

Em                          F
"why can't she be more like me," you ask

Am               F                  C  G
life is busy and life isn't fair to you

Am                  F
but you keep going, momma just wait

Am
till you come into your own

F
and feels less alone

                    F                     Am
'cause you've found friends, you've found family, and a sense of self

    F            G
and momma, we're so proud of you
[Chorus]
C              Am
hello mom, i'm so glad you're here

       Em                      Am
take a look at all that you've done

C                      Am
3 strong women and the lives you've helped build

Em                                F
i hope you're proud of who you've become

Am                              F
there's still room to grow, you know

Am                 G
you're not on your own

Am            G           C
thank you for all of your love
