Left my mother to go after

[Chorus]
         D#     A#/D     F
And I'm sorry for the things

I've done

Trying to protect you, but

I guess I was wrong

love to John

Saw the way the kids treated

 you every day at school

I should've blamed them, but
            F              Gm
instead I hid behind the Bible's rules
Dm    Cm
Ooh
  Gm
Prayed to God above

Ooh

But all you needed was my love

We had both had to leave our mothers
      F        D/F#     Gm
 to get the things we want
    D#           D#m
So send my love, send my

 love to John,

And I see that he takes care

of you from the food he makes

the ways I never was, ooh

right where you  belong

send my love to John
