I wa[A]warm my mornin' coffee up for the t[A]third time.
[Gbm]Ms. Rachel on the TV with their favo[Gbm]favorite nursery rhyme.

Verse 2:
[A]Always knew that a 9 to 5 wouldn't s[A]suit me very good
[Gbm]But my hours are extended, that's just mo[Gbm]motherhood
I [Bm]never knew this is what my t[Bm]twenties would look like.
But they [E]saved me before I had the chance to [E]waste my life
Chorus:
[D]Some days I want to cry, run away a[D]and hide
But I'd wo[A]worry about their every ne[E]need
[D]When I'm overhwhelmed and [D]touched out,
they come[D]come climbing up on th[D]the couch saying,

they come[D]come climbing up on the couch [D]saying,
[A]"Mama, can you open my string che[E]cheese?".
[Bm]I smile because I know meeting their nee[E]needs fills my soul
[Bm]And being their Mama is wh[E]who I'm meant to be.
