[Verse 1]
A C#7
I remember the day you appeared on this earth
D A
With eyes like the ocean, got blood on my shirt
D A
From my camera angle it looked like it hurt
Bm E
But your momma had a big old smile
A C#7
We drove you home, saw your yellowing skin
D A
Packed a few things and drove you back again
D A
Stayed up all night, worrying, wondering
Bm E
What was gonna make it better
[Chorus 1]
Bm E
Broken bones heal if you set them right
A A/G# F#m
Get your fine-toothed comb from the barbicide
Bm E
Our love’s a protective poison
D D/C# D D/C# Bm
But you are your mother’s child
A A/G# A A/G# F#m
And she’ll keep you for a while
Bm E (A C*)(x3) A D A
But one day you’ll be grown, then you’ll be on your own
[Verse 2]
A C#7
Halloween costume, looking real cute
D A
With your pillow case full, in your astronaut suit
D A
Your cousin, the cowboy, he’s eyeing your loot
Bm E
Better watch your Snickers bar
A C#7
Out on the diamond, you’re up to bat
D A
Chewing your Big League, adjusting your hat
D A
Taking a swing and hearing it crack
Bm E
Look at that apple fly
[Chorus 2]
Bm E
Well tears will dry if you give them time
A A/G# F#m
Life’s a rollercoaster, keep your arms inside
Bm E
Fear, that’s a big emotion
D D/C# D D/C# Bm
But you are your mother’s child
A A/G# A A/G# F#m
And she’ll keep you for a while
Bm E (A C*)(x3) A D A
But soon you’ll be grown, then you’ll be on your own
[Verse 3]
A C#7
Posing for pictures, cap and gown
D A
Summer is coming, you’re driving round town
D A
Everyone’s asking what you’re gonna do now
Bm E
I know you’re gonna make a splash
A C#7
Find you a sweetheart, to treat you so kind
D A
Take her to dinner and kiss her goodnight
D A
What I couldn’t teach you, soon you realised
Bm E
She’s the only thing that matters
[Chorus 3]
Bm E
Although he’s a bastard, make your papa proud
A A/G# F#m
You’re a fine young man and I got no doubt
Bm E
That you’re gonna do this better
D D/C# D D/C# Bm
‘Cause you are your mother’s child
A A/G# A A/G# F#m
And she had you for a while
Bm E A A/G# F#m
But now you are grown, you’re making it on your own
Bm E (A C*)(x3) A D A
Now that you’re grown, may you never feel this alone
