Christina Perri - mothers: Ukulele Chords

       G#
To the mothers who aren't sleeping
         Fm
That are having trouble feeding
C#                              D#
Too afraid to say they're not okay
No, not at all
       G#
To the mothers who feel empty
            Fm
That aren't sure they're even ready
   C#
To be alone and responsible
    D#
For somebody so small

Chorus:
       Fm
To the mothers who are lost
       C#
Pulled underneath the waves
     G#
Who need to cry for help
         D#
But are drowning in their shame
       Fm
To the mothers who are falling
          C#
And don't even make a sound
     G#
Who don't know that they're broken
   A#
Until they hit the ground
               C#
This one's for you
                D#
I've been there too
                G#  Fm C# D#
I've been there too

To the mother that's at home
Scrolling through her phone
Watching everybody else make family look easy
To the mom with her career
Who can't take off a whole year
So she has to pay somebody else
to take care of her baby

Chorus:
To the mothers who are lost,
pulled underneath the waves
Who need to cry for help,
but are drowning in their shame
To the mothers who are falling
and don't even make a sound
Who don't know they're broken until
they hit the ground
This ones for you
I've been there too

Fm         C 
And one day you'll discover
D#             A# 
Going from a woman to a mother
           C#                    D#
It might break you but it might save you

To the mother in the mirror
Who wishes she was thinner
'Cause now her body isn't somebody that she knows
To the mothers just like me
Who fell apart so suddenly
I hope you realize you're not alone

Chorus:
This one's for you
This one's for you
'Cause I've been there too
I've been there too

I love you, mom
