Mom

E        D       G         D                   A
I wish I had the memory of dropping you off at school
         G     A    E          D           A
And then going home   to watch Days of Our Lives
   E                G             D
Or talk to your eye doctor on the phone
A           D     G                   D                    A
I wish that I had been there when the braces came off your teeth
            G          A
Or when you learned to drive
E             D                     A
We could have gone through it all together
       E                G               D
But we didn't meet till you were twenty-five

D                 G                 A  
I wanna wash your clothes with some water and detergent
D                G            A    
I wanna sew your socks with a needle and some thread
D                G             A  
I wanna know the things that nobody knows about you
D         G                A         G
I want to kiss you on your head

E         D       A
I want to be your mom
E         D       A
I want to be your mom
E         D           A
I know it sounds all wrong
    E         D       A
But I want to be your mom

E           D     G                   D                        A
I wish that I had been there when the gym teacher grabbed your arm
             G             A
Or when they stitched your nose
E            D               A
I could have held you by the hand
E                   G                  D
And it would have embarrassed you I suppose

D                 G                 A 
I wanna wash your clothes with some water and detergent
D                G            A   
I wanna sew your socks with a needle and some thread
D                G             A  
I wanna know the things that nobody knows about you
D         G                A         G
I want to kiss you on your head

E         D       A
I want to be your mom
E         D       A
I want to be your mom
E         D           A
I know it sounds all wrong
    E         D       A   E
But I want to be your mom
