INTRO, riff-1:

1st VERSE, riff-1:

Mama, she has taught me well

Told me when I was young

Son, your life's an open book

Don't close it 'fore it's done

The brightest flame burns quickest

Is what I heard her say

A son's heart sewed to mother

But I must find my way

CHORUS, riff-2:

Let my heart go

Let your son grow

Mama, let my heart go

Or let this heart be still

2nd VERSE, riff-1:

Rebel my new last name

Wild blood in my veins

Apron strings around my neck

The mark that still remains

Left home at an early age

Of what I heard was wrong

I never asked forgiveness

But what is said is done

CHORUS, riff-2 (last line ends on Asus4 instead of Asus2):

Let my heart go

Let your son grow

Mama, let my heart go

Or let this heart be still

BRIDGE, riff-3:

Never I ask of you

But never I gave

But you gave me your emptiness

I now take to my grave

Never I ask of you

But never I gave

But you gave me your emptiness

I now take to my grave

So let this heart be still

3rd VERSE, riff-1:

Mama, now I'm coming home

I'm not all you wished of me

A mother's love for her son

Spoken, help me be

Well, I took your love for granted

And all the things you said to me

I need your arms to welcome me

But, a cold stone's all I see

CHORUS, riff-1 (last line ends on Asus4 instead of Asus2):

Let my heart go

Let your son grow

Mama, let my heart go

Or let this heart be still

CHORUS, riff-1:

Let my heart go

Mama, let my heart go

You never let my heart go

So let this heart be still

ENDING, riff-3 (last line fades out on Am):

Never I ask of you

But never I gave

But you gave me your emptiness

I now take to my grave

Never I ask of you

But never I gave

But you gave me your emptiness

I now take to my grave

So let this heart be still
