This is for my mother
A                              D                 G
From the older brother of your children, made of three
        Bm
Now you found your lover
A                                   D             G
Cause it wasn't our father who made you laugh and happy
            Bm
It's been a long five years
     A                                   D             G
I've cried a thousand tears, and here we are after the war
          Bm
But we're so much better
A                                      D               G
Now the skies are clearer, now there's no more slamming doors

Now, I say
Bm7  A                  G       D
Dear Mother, how you've come so far
Bm7           A                G      D
Your love has fixed all of our broken hearts
Bm7           A                G            D
I hope you're proud, Mother, of what you've done
       Bm7                     A                     G
It's a lifelong lesson and I'm not pretending when I say
                 Bm7    A  G  D
You cleared up my scars
                 Bm7    A  G  Bm7
You cleared up my scars

Bm
This is for my father
A                              D                G
From the older brother of your children made of three
             Bm
Yeah, you've been so good to us
A                              D                G
And showed us how to live and taught us to be free
         Bm
But when Mother told you
A                                   D              G
That she didn't love you, all these bridges hit the sea
       Bm
So you built another one
A                            D                G
And helped us cross it, even though you were in need

Now, I say
Bm7  A                  G       D
Dear Father, how you've come so far
Bm7           A                G      D
Your love has fixed all of our broken hearts
Bm7           A                G            D
I hope you're proud, Father, of what you've done
       Bm7                     A                    G
It's a lifelong lesson and I'm not pretending when I say
                 Bm7    A  G  D
You cleared up my scars
                 Bm7    A  G  Bm
You cleared up my scars
                 Bm7    A  G  D
You cleared up my scars
                 Bm7    A  G  Bm
You cleared up my scars
Bm7  A                  G       D
Dear Mother, how you've come so far
Bm7           A                G      D
Your love has fixed all of our broken hearts
Bm7           A                G            D
I hope you're proud, Mother, of what you've done
      Bm7                     A                    G
It' s a lifelong lesson and I'm not pretending when I say
                    D
You cleared up my scars
