"Things are different today," I hear every mother say

                                         F     D
Mother needs something today to calm her down

           G                               C      C/B    Am
And though she's not really ill, there's a little yellow pill

         Am                             D7
She goes running for the shelter of her mother's little helper

       Em
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day

Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag

So she buys an instant cake and she burns a frozen steak

         Am                             D7
And goes running for the shelter of her mother's little helper

       Em
And to help her on her way, get her through her busy day

"Men just aren't the same today", I hear every mother say

                                         F      D
"They just don't appreciate that you get tired"

            G                         C       C/B       Am
"They're so hard to satisfy", you can tranqui lize your mind

      Am                              D7
So go running for the shelter of your mother's little helper

         Em
And four help you through the night, help to minimize your plight

"Life's just much too hard today", I hear ev'ry mother say

                                      F     D
The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore

                G                       C   C/B     Am
And if you take more of those, you will get an over dose

        Am                           D7
No more running for the shelter of a mother's little helper

          Em
