[Verse]
D                  G
People always say I have a laugh 
D
Like my mother does 
D
Guess that makes sense 
G                           A
She taught me how to smile when things get rough 
D/F#
I've got her spirit 
A
And she's always got my back 
D/F#
When I look at her 
G                A
I think I wanna be just like that 

[Chorus]
D                G
When I love, I give it all I got 
D                  D
Like my mother does 
D                    G
When I'm scared, I bow my head and pray 
A
Like my mother does 
Em                   A
When I feel weak and un-pretty 
G                     D
I know I'm beautiful and strong 
Em           A
Because, I see myself 
        D
Like my mother does 

[Verse]
D
I never met a stranger, 
G
I can talk to anyone 
D
Like my mother does 
D
I let my temper fly 
G                              A
But she can walk away, when she's had enough 
D/F#                    A
She sees everybody, for who they really are 
D/F#
I'm so thankful for her guidance 
G                    A
She's helped me get this far 

[Chorus]
D                 G
When I love, I give it all I got 
D                   D
Like my mother does 
D                      G
And when I'm scared, I bow my head and pray 
A
Like my mother does 
Em                   A
When I feel weak and un-pretty 
G                     D
I know I'm beautiful and strong 
Em          A
Because, I see myself 
      D
Like my mother does 

[Bridge]
Em
She's a rock 
A
She is grace 
G
She's an angel 
D/F#             Em
She's my heart and soul 
             A...
She does it all... 

(Key change)
[Chorus]
E                   A2
When I love, I give it all I got 
E                   E
Like my mother does 
E                     A2
And when I'm scared, I bow my head and pray 
B
Like my mother does 
C#m                  B
When I feel weak and un-pretty 
A2                    E
I know I'm beautiful and strong 
F#m            B
Because, I see myself 
E                    A2
Like my mother does 
E                    A2
Like my mother does 

[Outro]
E
I hear people saying 
A2 
I'm starting to look 
E
Like my mother does
