[Verse]
C Am
momma, don't worry, it took me years
G F
To say I'm sorry, to see your tears
C Am
Momma, forgive me, I grew up too fast
G F
But that's not on you, it's in the past
[Pre-chorus]
F Am G
You're not wrong, I might be strong
[Chorus]
C F
But I'm no Jacob from the Bible
C G F C
[Verse]
C Am
My first lover shared my name
G F
My holy secrets enabled Cain
G C Am
I thought I loved him, maybe I did
G F
I was so young then, you could've called me a kid
[Pre-chorus]
Am G
Was I wrong to feel so strong?
[Chorus]
G C
He's no Jacob from the Bible
F
But damn, he made me pray
Am G F C
He might be my only rival
C G F C
Holding me that way-
Oohs
F G C G F
F G C G F
[Bridge]
Am G F C
Mo - mma, help me understand
C Am G F C
I don't wanna be held down by a heavenly man
Am G F C
Ooh Mo - mma, help me carry on
C Am G
They call me wrong, you call me strong
[Chorus]
C C
But I'm no Jacob from the Bible
F
I'm not even on the page
Am G F C
Just a life-long disciple
C
Of loving you that way
Oohs
F G C G F
F G C G F
End on C ( let ring )
Mama, don't worry
It took me years
To say I'm sorry
To see your tears
Mama, forgive me
I grew up too fast
But it's not on you
It's in the past
You're not wrong
I might be strong
But I'm no Jacob from the bible
My first lover
Shared my name
My holy secrets
Enabled Cain
I thought I loved him
Maybe I did
But I was so young then
Could've called me a kid
Was I wrong
To feel so strong?
He's no Jacob from the bible
But damn, he made me pray
He might be my only rival
Holding me that way
Mama, help me understand
I don't wanna be held down by a heavenly man
Mama, help me carry on
They call me wrong
You call me strong
But I'm no Jacob from the bible
I'm not even on the page
Just a life long disciple
Of loving you that way
