Dm
Mama, she has taught me well
C Am
Told me when I was young
Dm
"Son, your life´s an open book
C Am
Don´t close ´fore it´s done"
Dm
"The brightest flame burns quickest"
C Am
That´s what I heard her say
Dm
A son´s heart sowed to mother
C Am
But I must find my way
Dm C Am G
Let my heart go
Dm C Am G
Let your son grow
Dm C Am G
Mama, let my heart go
Dm C Bb G Am
Or Let this heart be still
Yeah, still
(acompanhamento)
Dm
Rebel, my new last name
C Am
Wild blood in my veins
Dm
They bring strings around my neck
C Am
The mark that still remains
Dm
Left home at an early age
C Am
Of what I heard was wrong
Dm
I never asked forgiveness
C Am
But what I said is done
Dm C Am G
Let my heart go
Dm C Am G
Let your son grow
Dm C Am G
Mama, let my heart go
Dm C Bb G Am
Let this heart be still
Dm G
Never I ask of you
C F
But never I gave
Dm G
But you gave me your emptiness
C F
And I´ll take to my grave
Dm G
Never I ask of you
C F
But never I gave
Dm G
But you gave me your emptiness
C F
That I´ll take to my grave
Dm C Bb G Am
So let this heart be still
Dm
Mama, now I´m coming home
C Am
I´m not all you wished of me
Dm
A mother´s love for her son
C Am
Spoken, help me be
Dm
I took your love for granted
C Am
Not a thing you said to me
Dm
I need your arms to welcome me
C Am
But a cold stone´s all I see
G
Let my heart go
Dm C Am G
Let your son grow
Dm C Am G
Mama, let my heart go
Dm C Bb G Am
Or Let this heart be still
Dm C Am G
Let my heart go
Dm C Am G
Mama, let my heart go
Dm C Am G
You never let my heart go
Dm C Bb G Am
So let this heart be still
