 Em        Dm                Am
Mama says truth is all that matters
 Em        Dm           Am
Lying 'n deceiving is a sin
 Em                 Dm                    Am
Drifting through a world that's torn and tattered
 Em              Dm                Am
Every thought I have don't mean a thing

Mama says love is all that matters
Beauty should be deeper than your skin
Living for the moment - lips and lashes
Will I ever find my way again

Mama says only stormy weather
Don't know why there's no sun in the sky
Footsteps in the dark come together
Got to keep on moving or I'll die
