Intro:
F Dm C Bb
Dm
Verse:
Dm
Our mother made us into swimmers
She threw her babes into this river
C
Full of mud and dense with weeds, a century of odd debris
We learned to fight and learned to love-
Dm
Our breaths were short we shared them with our brothers
We learned new games under the covers
C
How to laugh and how to grieve
We learned to trust, we learned to leave
We found this water's deeper than we-
Chorus:
F A Dm C
Guessed we had learned enough ways to love
Bb Bbm/C# Dm
Still I don't know mother who we are
Verse:
Our minds were sharp, our bodies burning
We gave ourselves over to learning
How to break and how to give
Betrayal taught us to forgive
We stretched and soaked up everything-
They taught us well, we were first in our classes
We learned to see through many glasses
How to sink and how to fly
We learned to watch each other die
My God, this course is harder than we-
Chorus:
Thought we had learned enough ways to love
Still I don't know mother where we are
We thought we were walking the way to love
Verse:
Our mother made us into swimmers
She threw us straight into the river
Our minds were sharp, our bodies burning
We threw ourselves into our learning
Dear God, this current's stronger than we-
Chorus:
F A Dm C
Thought we had learned enough ways to love
Bb Bbm Dm C
Still I don't know mother who you are
F A Dm Dm/F
I thought I was well on my way to love
Outro (F Dm C Bb):
Do we have time to take a nap?
The house is on fire, the sky is falling
Baby get back. Get back. This is your mother calling
