well now your heart once burned bright like the sun
F
but now you're all grown up and those days are done
C
and you don't love anyone you don't have any fun
F
you forgot how to fly when you learned how to run
C
you complain that you're no longer young
F
and the strain of living life under the gun
C
is driving you crazy the face of a lady
F
is burned in your brain and now here you are saying to me
C F
i sold my soul X
C
you once had a lady who could get you to dance
F
but the love of you life didn't fit in your plans
C
when you got a good job and you thought it was your shot
F
to become a rich man you just get one chance
C

G Am G
mama take me home
F G
mama take me home
Am G
mama take me home
you're the one that i want and i'm gonna get you back
cuz this life without you is dead and black
and lovin' is what i got to give
i'm gonna quit my job i'm gonna start to live
and stop being a slave
i gotta stop being afraid
you once had a passion for the art that you made
but your daddy said NO you gotta get paid
and if you follow this path kid i'm afraid
can you feel my fear you should be afraid
so you let that fear color all you could see
you just wanna be safe who needs to be free
so you sold your soul but low and behold
you still got no security
