Intro:
[C] [D] [C] [G]
Verse 1:
[G]Welcome to the end of being alone inside your mind
You're [C]tethered to another and you're [G]worried all the time
You [D]always knew the melody but you [C]never [C]heard it r[Am7]rhyme [D] [C]
She is [G]fair and she is quiet, Lord, she doesn't look like me
She [C]made me love the morning, she's a [G]holiday at sea
The [D]New York streets are as busy as they [C]always [C]used to [Am]be [G]
But I am the mother of E[D]Evange[G]vangeline
 
Verse 2:
[G]The first things that she took from me were selfishness and sleep
She [C]broke a thousand heirlooms I was [G]never meant to keep
She [D]filled my life with color, cancelled [C]plans, and[C]and trashed my c[Am]car [G]
But none of that is ever who we [D]are [D] [D]
[G]Outside of my windows are the mountains and the snow
I [C]hold you while you're sleeping and I [G]wish that I could go
[D]All my rowdy friends are out a[C]ccompli[C]shing their dr[Am]eams [G]
But I am the mother of E[D]Evangel[G]vangeline
 
Bridge:
They've still [D]got their morning paper and their [C]coffee and their [G]time
And they [D]still enjoy their evenings with the [C]skeptics and the [G]wine, oh
But [B7]all the wonders I have seen, I will [C]see[C]see a second ti[Am]time
From i[G]inside of the ages through your e[D]eyes [D] [D]
 
Verse 3:
[G]You were not an accident where no one thought it through
The [C]world that stood agaisnt us made us [G]mean to fight for you
And [D]when we chose your name we knew you'd fi[C]fight the [C]power [Am]too [D] [C]
You're [G]nothing short of magical and beautiful to me
I'll [C]never hit the bigtime without [G]you
So [D]they can keep their treasure and their [C]ties to [C]the mac[Am]machine [G]
Cause I am the mother of E[D]Evange[Em]vangeline
[C]They can keep their treasure and[C]and their t[C]ties to [Am]the machine [D] [C]
[G]Cause I am the mother of E[D]Evange[G]vangeline
[C]Ooh, [C]ooh, [Am]ooh, [G]ooh, ooh
[C]Ooh, [C]ooh, [Am]ooh, [G]ooh, ooh
[C]Ooh, [C]ooh, [Am]ooh, [G]ooh
