Dm7 Am7..Ooh-ooh,..hey
BbM7..Ooh-ooh, wow-oh-oh
Dm7 Am7..Ooh-ooh,..hey
BbM7..Ooh-ooh, wow-oh-oh
[Verse 1]
Dm7Yeah, you ever make it up to the gate?
Am7And if you did, I wonder, is it a beautiful place?
BbM7Did He put His arms around you, and make you feel like you're safe?
Did He grab you by the hand and say that things are okay?
Dm7I gotta know mama, did He show you some grace?
Am7Give you a pass and tell you He would carry the weight?
BbM7Do you smile more? Wonder what it's like when you pray
Is He standing in front of you so you could look at His face?
Dm7When you talk to Him, does He talk back?
Am7You ever have conversations about what you regr?t?
BbM7Or did it all Go away once you got there? Do?s each breath
Take you closer to God? Would you say that you cry less?
Dm7Do you feel at peace yet?
Do you laugh more?
Am7Do you feel like heaven is everything you could ask for?
BbM7I ever make it up there, when I see you, I hope you're smiling
'Cause you deserve it, pray to God that you found joy
And always know that—
[Chorus]
Dm7 Am7 BbM7..You don't gotta cry,..you don't gotta cry no more
Dm7I hope you're up there lookin' down on us with a smile on your face
Am7 BbM7You don't gotta cry, you don't gotta cry no more
Dm7I hope you're up there with God feeling loved and set free from your pain
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I look at the situation you had
Am7Mighta made a mistake of leaving, but it's makin' me sad
BbM7Thinkin' of you, how you grew up tryna cope with your past
Were you like me in your relationships and pushed away Dad?
Dm7I gotta know, Mama, did you think you were trash?
Am7Something disposable, that nobody could love or be glad
BbM7To say they was with you, that issue is a issue I have
That's why it hurt me when Britney gave me those letters you sent
Dm7 Am7I barely read any of 'em knowin' I'd let them Go to my head
BbM7And get to me, especially when I feel I related
Might not be around for my babies, but know when I say that I love you, that I mean it okay?
Dm7'Cause nobody's perfect
Yeah, I guess we all fall short
Am7And I can't hold this unforgiveness in my heart no more
BbM7So just know you're
Loveable to me, and of course
You'll always be Mama to us, we'll save a table for four
And know that—
[Chorus]
Dm7 Am7 BbM7..You don't gotta cry,..you don't gotta cry no more
Dm7I hope you're up there lookin' down on us with a smile on your face
Am7 BbM7You don't gotta cry, you don't gotta cry no more
Dm7 Am7I hope you're up there with God feeling loved and set free from your pain....
BbM7You don't gotta cry, no
[Outro]
Dm7Yeah, I'm grown now
Took me a while to see the bigger picture
Am7 BbM7..'Cause if you were here today and I was talking with ya
It'd be a lot of tears of joy falling on my sweatshirt
Prolly followed by some apologies and "Mom, I missed ya"
Dm7Yeah, I pray you see me down here lookin' up
Am7..Still got a lot of things that I need healin' from
BbM7..But I'll get there eventually, so don't you worry none
I just hope you finally got some peace and you feel happy
Dm7 Am7 BbM7Mom, I love you...........
Dm7 Am7 BbM7................
