[Verse 1]
D                    Em
 You never took some time
                 C
You never needed praise
                    D                 Em
You would work your hands to the bone
                    C
You would work your hands to the bone
D                    Em
 You always made the time
                 C
You got me on my way
                    D                 Em
You would work your hands to the bone
                 C
Just to turn our house to a home
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
  C                 D
A different kind of hero
       G                 Em
With a different kind of strength
 C
Another word for savior
     Dsus4           D
And another word for saint
 
 
[Chorus]
G     D              Em       D
Mother, a fighter and a lover
       C                   G                Dsus4         D
Always there by my side no matter what I am going through
    G               D                    Em         D
And there's no other, the place where we take cover
           C                       G
And I know everybody's saying they got the best one
    Dsus4           D
But that ain't true
           G
'Cause I do
 
 
[Verse 2]
D                 Em
 I know I made it tough
                    C
I know I caused you pain
                      D              Em
You loved me like the angel, I'm not
                      C
But you still held me down like a rock
D                        Em
 There's nothing I could do
                 C
There's nothing I could say
              D                            Em
The words can float away through the years
                C
So I wrote them down for you here
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    C             D
The person that I turn to
        G             Em
And the person that I trust
    C                           Dsus4            D
The voice inside my head when I think I'm giving up
 
 
[Chorus]
G     D              Em       D
Mother, a fighter and a lover
      C                       G             Dsus4         D
Everything I'll ever have and all I am is because of you
    G               D                    Em         D
And there's no other, the place where we take cover
           C                       G
And I know everybody's saying they got the best one
    Dsus4           D
But that ain't true
           Em
'Cause I do
 
 
[Bridge]
                  Bm
No matter where I go
                   C#m
Or where I'm at in life
                 C
You'll always be my
 
 
[Chorus]
G     D            Em       D
Mother, fighter and a lover
       C                   G                Dsus4         D
Always there by my side no matter what I am going through
    G               D                    Em         D
And there's no other, the place where we take cover
           C                       G
And I know everybody's saying they got the best one
    Dsus4           D
But that ain't true
       C                       G
I know everybody's saying they got the best one
    Dsus4           D
But that ain't true
           Bm Em C  D Em C
'Cause I do
Cm           D
  'Cause I do
