Mother's Ruin – Kirsty Maccoll

F#m
'Mother's ruin' 

She said to herself 
                      E
'I'm just screwing my own mental health' 

But Fridays and Saturdays 
                     D
She walks down those alleyways 

A latter day lady of the lamp 


F#m
How you doing? 

You ain't from 'round here 

Won't you come in? 
    E
I'm really not scared- 

'Cause Fridays and Saturdays 
              D
I still do it anyways 

And anything is better than out here 


A
Now don't wake me up again 

Don't let me feel anything 
             D
But when you go 

Let me dream that I go with you 
               E          F#m
So I won't cry myself dry anymore 


F#m
Mothers ruin 

Their own little girls 

Keep them dreaming 
        E
There's more to this world 

But turn her the other way 
                D
And every day's Father's Day 

He stays until there's nothing left to say
