[Intro]

[Verse]

Dm

Mama she has taught me well

Told me when I was young

Dm

Son your life's an open book

Don't close it before it's done

Dm

The brightest flame burns quickest

Thats what I heard her say

Dm

The son's heart's owed to mother

But I must find my way

[Chorus]

Let my heart go

Let your son grow

Mama let my heart go

Or let this heart be still.

[Instrumental]

[Verse]

Dm

Rebel, my new last name

Wild blood in my veins

Dm

Apron strings around my neck

The mark that still remains

Dm

Left home at an early age

of what I heard was wrong

Dm

I never asked forgiveness

But what I said is done

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

Never I asked of you

but never I gave

But you gave me your emptiness

I now take to my grave

Never I asked of you

but never I gave

But you gave me your emptiness

I now take to my grave

So let this heart be still.

[Verse]

Dm

Mama now I'm coming home

I'm not all you wished of me

Dm

A mother's love for her son

Unspoken, help me be

Dm

yeah I took your love for granted

and all the things you said to me

Dm

I need your arms to welcome me

That cold stone's all I see

[Chorus] 2X

[Bridge]

(solo over Dm G C F twice)

Never I asked of you

but never I gave

But you gave me your emptiness

I now take to my grave

Never I asked of you

but never I gave

But you gave me your emptiness

I now take to my grave

So let this heart be still.
