[Verse 1]
Cm
Fight after fight
G#
Break after break
Night after night
D#
Lying awake
A#
I can't find rest
Cm
Watching you walk
G#
Watching you laugh
Watching you talk
D#
It cuts me in half
A#
'Cause no matter how I dress
Cm G# Cm G#
I can't be enough
Cm G# A#
I was never enough
[Chorus]
G#
'Cause you like the bad boys
With the long black hair
D#
With their crooked smile
And their death trap stare
A# Cm
And I, no, I'll never compare
G#
'Cause we were through before we could start
D#
'Cause he was tattoed on the back of your heart
A#
But when he's busy
Cm
Breaking it apart
G# A#
Know that I will always be
Cm
the one to save it
G# A#
Know that I will alway be
Cm
Your mother's favorite
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Cm
Week after week
G#
Mile after mile
Unable to speak
D#
Unable to smile
A#
I've made it through
Cm
Word after word
G#
Day after day
What I've never heard
D#
Unable to say
A#
To someone new
Cm G# Cm G#
I love you
Cm G# A#
I loved you
[Chorus]
G#
But you like the bad boys
With the long black hair
D#
With their crooked smile
And their death trap stare
A# Cm
And I, no, I'll never compare
G#
'Cause we were through before we could start
D#
'Cause he was tattoed on the back of your heart
A#
But when he's busy
Cm
Breaking it apart

Your mother's favorite
[Bridge]
G# D#
Stop, stop, stop breaking me down
A#
Stop, stop, stop turning me round
Cm
Stop, stop, stop this war
G# D#
I,I, I've learned how to fall
A#
For, for, for the person who calls me
Cm
All they were looking for
[Chorus]
G#
But you like the bad boys
With the long black hair
D#
With their crooked smile
And their death trap stare
A# Cm
And I, no, I'll never compare
G#
And that's when she came
Like a brand new start
D#
Now, she's the new name on the back of my heart
A#
And when you're busy
Cm
Getting torn apart
G# A#
Know that I won't ever be
Cm
The one to save it
G# A#
Know that I will always be
Cm G# Cm G#
Her mother's favourite
Cm G# A#
Her mother's favourite

Her mother's favourite
