Intro
Dm A# F C
[Verse 1]
Dm
Fight after fight
A#
Break after break
Night after night
F
Lying awake
C
I can't find rest
Dm
Watching you walk
A#
Watching you laugh
Watching you talk
F
It cuts me in half
C
'Cause no matter how I dress
Dm A# Dm A#
I can't be enough
Dm A# C
I was never enough
[Chorus]
A#
'Cause you like the bad boys
With the long black hair
F
With their crooked smile
And their death trap stare
C Dm
And I, no, I'll never compare
A#
'Cause we were through before we could start
F
'Cause he was tattoed on the back of your heart
C
But when he's busy
Dm
Breaking it apart
A# C
Know that I will always be
Dm
the one to save it
A# C
Know that I will alway be
Dm
Your mother's favorite
[Instrumental]
Dm A# Dm A# Dm A# C
[Verse 2]
Dm
Week after week
A#
Mile after mile
Unable to speak
F
Unable to smile
C
I've made it through
Dm
Word after word
A#
Day after day
What I've never heard
F
Unable to say
C
To someone new
Dm A# Dm A#
I love you
Dm A# C
I loved you
[Chorus]
A#
But you like the bad boys
With the long black hair
F
With their crooked smile
And their death trap stare
C Dm
And I, no, I'll never compare
A#
'Cause we were through before we could start
F
'Cause he was tattoed on the back of your heart
C
But when he's busy
Dm
Breaking it apart
A# C
Know that I will always be
Dm
Your mother's favorite
[Bridge]
A# F
Stop, stop, stop breaking me down
C
Stop, stop, stop turning me round
Dm
Stop, stop, stop this war
A# F
I,I, I've learned how to fall
C
For, for, for the person who calls me
Dm
All they were looking for
[Chorus]
A#
But you like the bad boys
With the long black hair
F
With their crooked smile
And their death trap stare
C Dm
And I, no, I'll never compare
A#
And that's when she came
Like a brand new start
F
Now, she's the new name on the back of my heart
C
And when you're busy
Dm
Getting torn apart
A# C
Know that I won't ever be
Dm
The one to save it
A# C
Know that I will always be
Dm A# Dm A#
Her mother's favourite
Dm A# C
Her mother's favourite
Dm
Her mother's favourite
