Am
Bathed in the water she ran every morning
Dm
Smacked in the bed she turned down every night
E
  I'm strong in food she prepared for me
        Am
Now I'm all grown up
Am
Heating my hands on the very cold days
Dm
Drenched in the rain almost every school game
E
  And in the middle of a scare, she's there
   Am
To wake me up

[Chorus]
     Am                 Dm
I'm strong enough, I'm tough enough
E                                        Am
  slept enough, I'm crying my mother's tears
    Am                Dm
I'm well enough, I've read enough
E                                       Am
  Loved enough, I'm crying my mother's tears

Am                       Dm
twe dab dab twe dab dab twe dab dab twe
             Em      Am
twe dab dab twe dab twe dab dab

[Verse 2]
Am
Treating my cuts with her own remedies
Dm
Combing my hair while she covered my knees
E
  And sent me books I was forbidden to read
   Am
Educating me

      Am
I was there by her side when my grandmother died
     Dm
Her weakness is strength, she's unable to cry
E
  And lover's tears fell from father's eyes
        Am
She was all cried out

[Chorus]
     Am                 Dm
I'm strong enough, I'm tough enough
E                                       Am
  slept enough, I'm crying my mother's tears
    Am                 Dm
I'm well enough, I've read enough
E                                           Am
  I've loved enough, I'm crying my mother's tears
Am                       Dm
twe dab dab twe dab dab twe dab dab twe
             Em      Am
twe dab dab twe dab twe dab dab

[Bridge]
Am        Dm
Cause I'm doing my best
E           Am
To keep her living the rest
Am        Dm
Cause I'm doing my best
E           Am
To keep her living the rest
Am        Dm
Cause I'm doing my best
E           Am
To keep her living the rest
