verse 1
D
You always had my back
G D
Every time I'd fall
Bm
From busted knees to broken hearts
A
We've been through it all
D
You made me walk the line every time
G D
I'd come in off the track
Bm A D
My mother's always been my better half
verse 2
D
From my first shoe you tied
G D
To my first night in jail
Bm
You walked me through hand in hand
A
The rainbows in the hill
D
They say I got your eyes
G D
I say I've got more than that
Bm A D
My mother's always been my better half
A
You slowed down the drinking
G
And laid down on cigarettes
A
Better start thinking
G
About the things you will regret
D
And find a good woman
G D
And maybe get lucky like your dad
Bm A D
My mother's always been my better half
verse 3
D
You bought me my guitar
G D
For better grades in school
Bm
And I took it off to college
A
Then I took it for a tour
D
And now the name that you gave
G D
Is now my autograph
Bm A D
My mother's always been my better half
A
You slowed down the drinking
G
And laid down on cigarettes
A
Better start thinking
G
About the things you will regret
D
And find a good woman
G D
And maybe get lucky like your dad
Bm A D
My mother's always been my better half
Bm A D
My mother's always been my better half
