Verse 1
C CThere's a letter to your mother that is hidden is my desk
G CThat I wrote to her in a sober mind
G CIt's my apology for all the things I used to be
Gm G CAnd swearin' I'll change over time
C CShe might not believe me 'cause no one ever does
G CExcept her daughter that loves me true
G CGod forbid all it takes for a boy to finally wait
Gm G CJust to be cherished and loved all the way through
Verse 2
C CShe lets me drink my liquor when I'm singin' through the night

Gm G CAnd Lord only knows how tough
Chorus

C G GmIt'll be in love or it'll be in pain
