[D]
He put his arms around her shoulder and with a voice that sounded older he said,
Mom, I got something on [A] my mind.
I don't want to bother you, but I sure need to talk to you,
If you can only [D] spare the time.
And Mom, I hope you understand how much I love and need you,
And I don't want you to take this the [G] wrong way.
[D] But don't you think I'm old enough [A] and big enough
And strong enough to play the games that [D] Daddy's played.
My friend Billy Parker's dad came by today to see me and he wondered if I'd like [A] to go
With him and Billy on a hike and maybe camp out overnight the way I've seen them do in [D] picture shows.
And there's one thing I'd like to do and maybe if I ask him to he'd sit and talk with me [G] man to man.
[D] We'd only be gone overnight [A] and I doubt what it's like to play the games that [D] Daddy's played.
[B] [E] She quickly turned to hide the tears from her son of seven years.

She searched her mind in desperation, six long years of separation, then the words she knew she [A] had to say.
I
[E] hope you're never big enough [G#m] or [B] old enough or bold enough to play the games that [E] Daddy's played.
[C#m] [B] I know you need and want his love but son you're the victim of another kind of game that [E] Daddy's played.
He put his arms around her shoulder and with a voice that sounded older he said,
Mom, I got something on [A] my mind.
I don't want to bother you, but I sure need to talk to you,

And I don't want you to take this the [G] wrong way.
