GbM7
..Ooh-ooh, wow-oh-oh
Bm7       Cm7
..Ooh-ooh,..hey
GbM7
..Ooh-ooh, wow-oh-oh

[Verse 1]
 Bm7                    
Yeah, you ever make it up to the gate?
           Cm7
And if you did, I wonder, is it a beautiful place?
      GbM7
Did He put His arms around you, and make you feel like you're safe?

Did He grab you by the hand and say that things are okay?
         Bm7 
I gotta know mama, did He show you some grace?
           Cm7  
Give you a pass and tell you He would carry the weight?
       GbM7     
Do you smile more? Wonder what it's like when you pray

Is He standing in front of you so you could look at His face?
          Bm7  
When you talk to Him, does He talk back?
               Cm7
You ever have conversations about what you regr?t?
             GbM7
Or did it all Go away once you got there? Do?s each breath

Take you closer to God? Would you say that you cry less?
                Bm7 
Do you feel at peace yet?
 
Do you laugh more?
                  Cm7
Do you feel like heaven is everything you could ask for?
              GbM7
I ever make it up there, when I see you, I hope you're smiling

'Cause you deserve it, pray to God that you found joy

And always know that—

[Chorus]
Bm7                   Cm7                      GbM7
..You don't gotta cry,..you don't gotta cry no more
                                                                Bm7
I hope you're up there lookin' down on us with a smile on your face
                Cm7                         GbM7
You don't gotta cry, you don't gotta cry no more
                                                                     Bm7
I hope you're up there with God feeling loved and set free from your pain

[Verse 2]
 
Yeah, I look at the situation you had
       Cm7
Mighta made a mistake of leaving, but it's makin' me sad
            GbM7
Thinkin' of you, how you grew up tryna cope with your past

Were you like me in your relationships and pushed away Dad?
         Bm7 
I gotta know, Mama, did you think you were trash?
            Cm7 
Something disposable, that nobody could love or be glad
            GbM7  
To say they was with you, that issue is a issue I have
     
That's why it hurt me when Britney gave me those letters you sent
          Bm7                                          Cm7
I barely read any of 'em knowin' I'd let them Go to my head
                                         GbM7  
And get to me, especially when I feel I related

Might not be around for my babies, but know when I say that I love you, that I mean it okay?
                 Bm7
'Cause nobody's perfect

Yeah, I guess we all fall short
            Cm7 
And I can't hold this unforgiveness in my heart no more
        GbM7 
So just know you're

Loveable to me, and of course

You'll always be Mama to us, we'll save a table for four

And know that—

[Chorus]
Bm7                   Cm7                      GbM7
..You don't gotta cry,..you don't gotta cry no more
                                                                Bm7
I hope you're up there lookin' down on us with a smile on your face
                Cm7                         GbM7
You don't gotta cry, you don't gotta cry no more
                                                                      Bm7 Cm7
I hope you're up there with God feeling loved and set free from your pain....
                GbM7
You don't gotta cry, no

[Outro]
 Bm7
Yeah, I'm grown now
            
Took me a while to see the bigger picture
Cm7                                                   GbM7  
..'Cause if you were here today and I was talking with ya

It'd be a lot of tears of joy falling on my sweatshirt
 
Prolly followed by some apologies and "Mom, I missed ya"
Bm7       
Yeah, I pray you see me down here lookin' up
Cm7
..Still got a lot of things that I need healin' from
GbM7
..But I'll get there eventually, so don't you worry none
                                   
I just hope you finally got some peace and you feel happy
        Bm7     Cm7   GbM7
Mom, I love you...........
Bm7   Cm7   GbM7
