Mother Lyrics

Hello. Can't believe I finally get the chance to write the "this is my first tab..."
speech after reading it so many times. So, well... I'm sorry I don't know the real names to
those chords. It's probably a bit off but since there isn't a tab yet for that song I
guess that will do until you post a better version ;) This was based on the acoustic
version of Travis's song "Mother" which is on ther latest record "Where You Stand". It's
amazing so if you haven't bought it yet you should definitely do so.
Intro :
Mother take that ride
You got in my mind
Tell 'em what you found
Write it down
Lo-------ve
Lo-------ve
Solo :
What you have is enough
What you want with so much stuff
What you need is a hug
From a passenger you love
One you love
One you love
One you love
One you love
Write a book
Change your name
Run a thousand miles away
Bite the hook
Change your game
In the end it's all the same
Happy ever after
Dancing with disaster
D C D(hold)
Hold me close and listen to the song
Why did we wait so long?
Oh, why did we wait so long?
Mini instrumental : G
Once upon a cold and starless night
Saw a vision or a trick of light
We know there's nothing wrong
Days are short, nights are long
Answer me this question then I'm gone
Oh, why did we wait so long?
Oh, why did we wait so long?
