Intro: C   Cadd9-C  F  (3x)  C   Cadd9-C 

                        F 
Oh, I am a girl, the forgettable face 
       C                    F 
And no matter my colour, no matter my name 
   C                                      F   Csus4-F 
At work there is a boy and he treats me well 
   C                               F                  C   F 
My old friends from high school, I see them around 


      C                         F 
Well, August is here, I can't believe how fast 
C                             F 
Soon there will be winter and snow on the ground 
Am                                 F 
Maybe by then I could get my own place 
C                      F      
Closer to the city, if that's okay 


 
      G                Am 
But Mama, can you hear me? 
     F                                  C 
As I dragged on my day's last cigarette 
   G         Am 
He pulled me so hard  
       F                        C 
Off my very own back door steps 
       G              Am 
And he laid me in his garden 
        F                           C 
All the years I've watched him tend 
       G          Am 
And he took me, Mama 
           F                 C 
So I could never tell you about it 


INTERLUDE: Am G F     C 


                                    F 
And inside of this moment there are things I wish I could know 
          C                                  F 
Like your ring size and my ring size and the hour I was born 
       Am                         F 
And my dad's middle name and your favourite song 
         C              F 
Was your darkest day as dark as this one? 


 
  G                Am 
Mama, can you hear me? 
     F                                  C 
As I dragged on my day's last cigarette 
   G         Am 
He pulled me so hard  
       F                        C 
Off my very own back door steps 
       G              Am 
And he laid me in his garden 
        F                           C 
All the years I've watched him tend 
            G          Am 
And then he took me, Mama 
           F                 C 
So I could never tell you about it 
          F                                  C 
Now I'm a girl who's face they'll never forget 


INTERLUDE:  
       Am G F 
Oh ooh oh ohhh 
       Am G F 
Oh ooh oh ohhh 
       Am G F 
Oh ooh oh ohhh
