Gm                     D#                      A#
When I was a young boy I was scared of growing up
   Gm                     D#                  A#
I did't understand it but I was terrified of love
      Gm                      D#                  A#
Felt like I had to choose but it was outta my control
   Gm                        D#               A#
I needed to be saved, I was going crazy on my own

            Cm               A#         D#
It took me years to tell my mother, I expected the worst
   Cm               A#             F
I gathered all the courage in the world

Chorus:
                     Gm D#       A#
She said, "I love you no matter what
       Gm              D#               A#
I just want you to be happy and always be who you are"
      Gm               D#
She wrapped her arms around me
                    A#                F
Said, "Don't try to be what you're not
         Gm          D#     A#
Cause I love you no matter what"
     Gm          D#     A#
She loves me no matter what

I got a little older wishing all my time away
Riding on the pavement, every sunny day was grey
I trusted in my friends then all my world came crashing down
I wish I never said a thing 'cause to them I’m a stranger now

I ran home I saw my mother, it was written on my face
Felt like I had a heart of glass about to break

Chorus:
She said, "I love you no matter what
I just want you to be happy and always be who you are"
She wrapped her arms around me
Said, "Don’t try to be what you’re not
'Cause I love you no matter what, yeah"

 D#                             A#  D#
Now I'm a man and I'm so much wiser
                                    A#   D#
I walk the earth with my head held higher
                       F
I got the love that I need
            Gm          Dm           Cm  A#
But I was still missing one special piece
                    D#
My father looked at me

Chorus:
He said "I love you no matter what
I just want you to be happy and always be who you are"
He wrapped his arms around me
Said, "Don’t try to be what you’re not
'Cause I love you no matter what"
He loves me no matter what
And they love me no matter what
