I remember the day I called mama on the telephone 
           F#              B 
I told her mama I'm getting married 
                                                   E 
I could hear her voice on the other side of the telephone she was smiling 
             F#                              B 
And she asked me a question that I proudly answered 
                               E 
She said son did you take time to know her 
         F#           B 
I said mama she's the best 
                  
But today it hurts me so 
        E 
To go back to mama and say mama  
   F# 
I'm getting divorced 
            B 
Oh I'm getting divorced 
F#          E     F#                   E                     F#   B

                           E 
It's not easy to understand it son 
                 F# 
But I hope you'll make it  
                   B 
You'll be happy again 
  
  
I remember in church 
E 
When the preacher read the scriptures 
F#                         B 
You looked so beautiful and innocent 
                               E 
I did not know that behind that beauty 
                    F#                               B 
Lies the true colors that will destroy me in the near future 
F#           E     F#          E           F#              E       B 
This choice I made didn't work out the way I thought it would be (x2) Now I'm hurting  

Solo: B  E  F#  B 
   
B 
I remember when I held you 
           E 
By the hand preacherman read the scriptures 
F#                       B 
Putting words in you mouth 
                                   E 
Maybe what the preacherman said was not something that was with you 
F#                               B 
Now I know what they mean when they say 
                                  E 
Beautiful woman is another man's plaything 
    F#                B 
Oh Lord I'm hurting now 
F#        E       F#       E              F#                E 
this choice I made didn't work out the way I thought it would 
B 
Mama said to me
