G# To the mothers who aren't sleeping Fm That are having trouble feeding C# D# Too afraid to say they're not okay No, not at all G# To the mothers who feel empty Fm That aren't sure they're even ready C# To be alone and responsible D# For somebody so small Chorus: Fm To the mothers who are lost C# Pulled underneath the waves G# Who need to cry for help D# But are drowning in their shame Fm To the mothers who are falling C# And don't even make a sound G# Who don't know that they're broken A# Until they hit the ground C# This one's for you D# I've been there too G# Fm C# D# I've been there too To the mother that's at home Scrolling through her phone Watching everybody else make family look easy To the mom with her career Who can't take off a whole year So she has to pay somebody else to take care of her baby Chorus: To the mothers who are lost, pulled underneath the waves Who need to cry for help, but are drowning in their shame To the mothers who are falling and don't even make a sound Who don't know they're broken until they hit the ground This ones for you I've been there too Fm C/E And one day you'll discover D# A#/D Going from a woman to a mother C# D# It might break you but it might save you To the mother in the mirror Who wishes she was thinner 'Cause now her body isn't somebody that she knows To the mothers just like me Who fell apart so suddenly I hope you realize you're not alone Chorus: This one's for you This one's for you 'Cause I've been there too I've been there too I love you, mom You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  C#  C  D  D#  E  Fm  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
