Intro SOL SIm SOL SIm
SOL
A black and white photograph
SIm
of me up the garden path
SOL
wrapped up in my football scarf
SIm
it sits here in my hand
SOL
and there mother smothered me
SIm
and how she would mother me
SOL
she knew how to suffer me
SIm
like all mothers can
FA DO
Now she is everywhere
LAm SOL#
the comb that runs through my hair
MIb DOm
my posture on a chair
SOL
but that's not who I am
SOL SIm SOL SIm
SOL
He ran from the arguments
SIm
and sat on the garden fence
SOL
and lived in the passing tense
SIm
that fell from her lips
SOL
he tended the house so well
SIm
and each time she rang his bell
SOL
he'd climb back from where he fell
SIm
and gathered his wits
FA DO
Now I fear the mold is mine
LAm SOL#
a vibration shakes my spine
MIb DOm
as I walk the crooked line
SOL
reality hits
CHORUS

If it's not one thing it's your mother

SIb
but it's not so easy to say

LA

DO#m
I'm raising my own eyebrow
MIm
and being in my own row
SIm
and making life hell
FA DO
This is me see here I am
LAm SOL#
doing the best that I can
MIb DOm
this life has a subtle plan
SOL
but you couldn't tell
