Brandi Carlile - Mama Werewolf: chords

      Fm
Your mama is a werewolf with long, sharp teeth
    C#
I'm up all night when the world should sleep
   G#
I curse the darkness when it's killin' time
         D#
I got a river of fear runnin' through my mind

When the moon shines through those parting clouds
I hear the call and I howl out loud
I stalk the streets where the shadows lie
And I pray to God that that sun will rise

         C#                Fm
But that sun don't always rise

Chorus:
Fm D#  C#                 G#
If my good intentions go runnin' wild
       Fm                Cm
If I 'cause you pain, my own sweet child
           C#                      G#
Won't you promise me you'll be the one?
    Fm                  C# G#/C A#m G# D#
My silver bullet in the gun

When I wake and, and I'm reborn
My body aches and my soul is torn
I search the void for any clues
And I feel ashamed for what I've put you through

This curse a gift from my father's kin
They fought the beast I feel within
But we don't talk about
it and we don't call its name
We just carry on, hopin' it'll change

But we know it'll never change

Chorus:
If my good intentions go runnin' wild
If I cause you pain, my own sweet child
Won't you promise me you'll be the one?
My silver bullet in the gun
Would you strike me down right where I stand?
Would you change me back, make me kind again?
Won't you promise me you'll be the one?
My silver bullet in the gun

If my good intentions go runnin' wild
If I cause you pain, my own sweet child
Won't you promise me you'll be the one?
My silver bullet in the gun
Would you strike me down right where I stand?
Would you change me back, make me kind again?
Won't you promise me you'll be the one?
My silver bullet in the gun
