[Verse]
C Am
momma, don’t worry, it took me years
G F
To say I’m sorry, to see your tears
C Am
Momma, forgive me, I grew up too fast
G F
But that’s not on you, it’s in the past
[Pre-chorus]
F Am G
You’re not wrong, I might be strong
[Chorus]
C F
But I’m no Jacob from the Bible
C G F C
[Verse]
C Am
My first lover shared my name
G F
My holy secrets enabled Cain
G C Am
I thought I loved him, maybe I did
G F
I was so young then, you could’ve called me a kid
[Pre-chorus]
Am G
Was I wrong to feel so strong?
[Chorus]
G C
He’s no Jacob from the Bible
F
But damn, he made me pray
Am G F C
He might be my only rival
C G F C
Holding me that way-
Oohs
F G C G F
F G C G F
[Bridge]
Am G F C
Mo – mma, help me understand
C Am G F C
I don’t wanna be held down by a heavenly man
Am G F C
Ooh Mo – mma, help me carry on
C Am G
They call me wrong, you call me strong
[Chorus]
C C
But I’m no Jacob from the Bible
F
I’m not even on the page
Am G F C
Just a life-long disciple
C
Of loving you that way
Oohs
F G C G F
F G C G F
End on C ( let ring )
