                       Eb    Bb
Mama said that it was okay
                       Dm7            Gm
Mama said that it was quite alright
                        Dm7          Gm
Our kinda people had a bed for the night
               F
and it was okay


                       Eb           Bb
Mama said that we were good kids
                          Dm7             Gm
and daddy told us never listen to the ones
                 Dm7                  Gm
pointing nasty fingers and making fun
                    F
'cause we were good kids


                        Gm
Remember asking both my mom and dad
       (Eb)           Bb
Why we never travel to exotic lands
                          Gm
We only ever really visit friends
           (Eb)           Bb
Nothing to tell when the summer ends


                     Gm
We never really went buying clothes
       (Eb)                                 Bb
'cause folks were passing on the stuff in plenty loads
                Gm
New shoes once a year and then
       (Eb)           Bb
Out to play ball so we could go in them


                            Eb    Bb
When mama said that it was okay
                      Dm7           Gm

'cause we were good kids


                              Gm
Don't get me wrong, I didn't have it bad
             (Eb)           Bb
I got enough loving from my mom and dad
                              Gm
But I don't think they really understood
                   (Eb)               Bb
When I said that I wanted to deal in Hollywood


                         Gm
I told 'em I'd be singing on tv
             (Eb)           Bb
The other kids were callin' me a wannabe
                            Gm
The older kids they started bugging me
                    (Eb)              Bb
But now they're all standing right in front of me


                            Eb    Bb

'cause we were good kids


Gm           Dm
I know which place im from
Eb        Bb
I know my home
Gm           C
When Im in doubt and struggling
Eb       Bb
thats where I'll go

       Gm                C
An old friend can give advice
          Eb                         Bb
when new friends only know the half story
               Gm                Am
That's why I always keep 'em tight
                   Eb
And while you're okay
            F
I said I'm okay

(You know what my mama said? You know what she told me?)

[Verse 1]
            C              G/B          Am
For all the times that you rain on my parade
            Dm               C        G/B
And all the clubs you get in using my name
              C                  G/B         Am
You think you broke my heart, oh girl for goodness sake
              Dm            C           G/B
You think I'm crying, on my own, well I ain't
                   C           G/B                  Am
And I didn't wanna write a song cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care
   Dm        C                G/B
I don't but, you still hit my phone up
              C        G/B              Am
And baby I be movin' on and I think you should be somethin'
              Dm         C                G/B
I don't wanna hold back, maybe you should know that


[Pre-Chorus]
              Am   F                      C
My mama don't like you and she likes everyone
            Am      F                C
And I never like to admit that I was wrong
                 Am          F               C                G
And I've been so caught up in my job, didn't see what's going on
          Am  F            G
And now I know, I'm better sleeping on my own


[Chorus]
             C        G       Am        F
Cause if you like the way you look that much
        C                 G        C
Oh baby you should go and love yourself
           C          G         Am      F
And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'
C                 G        C
You should go and love yourself


[Verse 2]
             C                G/B      Am
But when you told me that you hated my friends
         Dm               C           G/B
The only problem was with you and not them
          C             G/B            Am
And every time you told my opinion was wrong
             Dm             C            G/B
And tried to make me forget where I came from
                   C           G/B                  Am
And I didn't wanna write a song cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care
   Dm        C                G/B
I don't but, you still hit my phone up

And baby I be movin' on and I think you should be somethin'

I don't wanna hold back, maybe you should know that


[Pre-Chorus]
              Am   F                      C
My mama don't like you and she likes everyone

And I never like to admit that I was wrong

And now I know, I'm better sleeping on my own


[Chorus]
             C        G       Am        F
Cause if you like the way you look that much

Oh baby you should go and love yourself
           C          G         Am      F
And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'

You should go and love yourself

[Verse]
            C         G/B          Am
For all the times you made me feel small
          Dm               C          G/B
I fell in love, now I feel nothin' at all
        C                G/B          Am
I never felt so low when I was vulnerable
        Dm              C             G/B
Was I a fool to let you break down my walls?


[Chorus]
             C        G       Am        F
Cause if you like the way you look that much
        C                 G        C
Oh baby you should go and love yourself
           C          G         Am      F
And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'

Em                      G
Once I was Seven years old,
              C
my momma told me,             
                      D
go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
Em                      G           C
once I was Seven years old

Em       D        G
It was a big big world,
               C
but we thought we were bigger.
                           D
Pushing each other to the limits,
         
we were learning quicker.
Em          D      
By eleven smoking herb
             G
and drinking burning liquor
C                            D
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure


Em                D       G
Once I was eleven years old,
              C
my daddy told me,
                  D
go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely.
Em                D      G          C
Once I was eleven years old


Em            D       G
I always have that dream
                     C 
like my Daddy before me
                       D
So I´m started writing songs

I´ll starting writing stories
Em          D        G
Something about the glory,  
                      C
just always seemed to bore me,
                          D
Cause only those I really love 
   
will ever really know me


Em                D       G
Once I was twenty years old,
              C
my story got told,
                   D
before the morning sun, when life was lonely.
Em                D       G          C
Once I was twenty years old



Em             D
I only seek my goals,
          G
I don't believe in failure.
C                         D
Cause I know the smallest voices,

they can making major,
Em                 D            G

Em               D       G
Soon we´ll be 30 years old

Em          D              G
I´m still learning about life

my woman brought children for me
C
so I can sing them all my songs
           D
and I can tell them storys

Most of my boys are with me

remember life and then your life
                 
becomes a better one
Em         D         G
I make the man so happy

when I wrote the letter once
C                           D
I hope my children come and visit
              
once ore twice a month


Em                D     G    
Soon I´ll be 60 years old

when I think the world is cold
C
when I have a lot of children
        D
who can bore me

Once I was seven years old,
              C
my momma told me,             
                      D

Em                      G           C
once I was seven years old
