Stay At Home Mother chords by Sheryl Crow

Submitted by: Lorie

CAPO: 1st FRET

INTRO: F C F C G C


VERSE:
 F
Riding in the backseat, sipping on a Pepsi
 G                       C
Looking out the window, driving to the bus stop together
      F
I tell her only three sleeps and I'll be right back
   G                        C
And then we're gonna have a good time when I come to get her

PRE-CHORUS:
    Am       F
And I call her every single night
   C       G
I'll miss her every day
    Am         F
And if she kissed me and waved goodbye
C         G
I could hear her say


CHORUS:
     Am  F
Stay at home, mother
     C
Stay at home
     Am  F
Stay at home, mother
     C
Stay at home


VERSE:
      F
I've been working late nights making up for the times
    G                    C
That I wasn't in the crowd cheering out loud at her school plays
 F
Tickets to a circus, maybe a new bike
    G                      C
I just want her to know that I love her more than working all day


PRE-CHORUS:
     Am        F
But the price will never measure up
  C        G
To what's inside a box
    Am          F
While I run along around the world
   C      G
She tells me to stop


CHORUS:
     Am  F
Stay at home, mother
     C
Stay at home
     Am  F
Stay at home, mother
     C
Stay at home


PRE-CHORUS / CHORUS:
Am             F
We could play house and pretend
    C          G
That tomorrow you won't be gone
     Am  F
Stay at home, mother
     C  Am F C  Am F C
Stay at home


BRIDGE:
  F
I wish some things were different
     G
Doesn't change one memory
 F
My little girl grew up
       G
While I was too busy to see
   F
That she's become the one thing
   G
That I could never be


CHORUS:
     Am  F
Stay at home, mother
     C
Stay at home
     Am  F
Stay at home, mother
     C
Stay at home


PRE-CHORUS / CHORUS:
 Am             F
She could have a house and couple kids
   C         G
And never have to be involved
       Am  F
As a stay at home mother
     Am  F
Stay at home mother
     Am F C
Stay at hoooooome
