[Intro]
Am      F                 G   C 
Call it love and devotion

            F 
Foundation 
          G               C 
A special bond of creation, hah

[Verse]
              Am   F          G    Em 
She works the night, by the water 
             Am             F 
She's gonna stress, so far away 
                    G        Em 
From her father's daughter 
                Am  F         G     Em 
She just wants a life for her baby 
           Am                F 
All on her own, no one will come 
             G               Em 
She's got to save him (daily struggle)
[Pre-Chorus]
               Am         F              
She tells him "ooh, love, no one's ever  
           G 
gonna hurt you, love 
Em                        Am 
I'm gonna give you all of my love 
F                   G      Em 
Nobody matters like you" 
               Am        F               
She tells him "your life ain't gonna be  
             G 
nothing like my life 
Em                           Am 
You're gonna grow and have a good life 
F                      G      Em 
I'm gonna do what I've got to do"
[Chorus]

Trying to keep him warm 
Em                     Am 
Trying to keep out the cold 
        F 
When he looks in her eyes 
G                  Em 
He don't know he's safe
[Pre-Chorus]
               Am         F              
When she says "ooh, love, no one's ever

Em                        Am
