C#m B/Eb E
C#m7 B/Eb
Don't know how her backs not broken
E
From all the weight she carries
C#m B/Eb E
Don't know how her hearts still going strong
C#m7 B/Eb
From the way she raised her family
E
To the person that she married
C#m B/Eb A
I've never seen her get it wrong
C#m7 B/Eb E
And they don't make 'em like they used to

She's just from another time

But I hope I'm living somewhere close to
E/G# A
The way she lives her life
I swear I try
E
'Cause if I find a way to follow in her footsteps
B E/G#
Steal a story from the pages that she turned
A B C#m7
If I learn that to forgive is not a weakness
B A
And love without a fear of getting hurt
B E
I'll be happy if I'm half as good as her
C#m B/Eb
It's the lines from years of smiling
E
The softness of her hands
C#m B/Eb
It's the constant silver lining
E
That she finds when no one can
A B E E/G#
And they don't make 'em like they used to
A E
But if I find a way to follow in her footsteps
B E/G#
Steal a story from the pages that she turned

If I learn that to forgive is not a weakness

And love without a fear of getting hurt
I'll be happy if I'm

Half as good as her

She won't let you catch her crying
E
On the days that she has left
C#m B/Eb
Yeah, even in goodbye
E
She's giving me her very best

But if I find a way to follow in her footsteps

Steal a story from the pages that she turned

If I learn that to forgive is not a weakness

And love without a fear of getting hurt

I'll be happy if I'm half as good as her
