A     E/G#             F#m
Sat inside a railway station
D                  E           A
Drinking a cup of coffee on my own
A         E/G#             F#m
Listening to the strangest conversation
        D           E            A
About children and holidays and Rome

Last night I sat inside a bar room
And I was thinking 'bout my childhood home
I think I need to talk to mama
'Cause I'm about to have a child all of my own

Chorus:
       D            A          E
And I hope I'm as brave as my mother
      D                 A             E
Wondering what kind of mother will I be?
             D            A      C#7
I hope she knows that I found a man far from
    F#m
my father
 D       E         A
Sam, my baby, and me

I've been thinking about my husband
From seventeen, the only love I've known
And I could place no one above him
So beautiful and so naive alone

I've not even called my family
About the life that's 'bout to find me home
For many years, the lights would blind me
But now I find they only want to lead me home

Chorus:
And I hope I'm as brave as my mother
Wondering what kind of mother will I be?
Hope she knows that I found a man far from my father
Sam, my baby, and me

And I hope I'm as brave as my mother
Wondering what kind of mother will I be?
Hope she knows that I found a man far from my father
Sam, my baby, and me
It's just Sam, my baby, and me)
