[Verse 1]
G# C7
I remember the day you appeared on this earth
C# G#
With eyes like the ocean, got blood on my shirt
C# G#
From my camera angle it looked like it hurt
A#m D#
But your momma had a big old smile
G# C7
We drove you home, saw your yellowing skin
C# G#
Packed a few things and drove you back again
C# G#
Stayed up all night, worrying, wondering
A#m D#
What was gonna make it better
[Chorus 1]
A#m D#
Broken bones heal if you set them right
G# G#/G Fm
Get your fine-toothed comb from the barbicide
A#m D#
Our love’s a protective poison
C# C#/C C# C#/C A#m
But you are your mother’s child
G# G#/G G# G#/G Fm
And she’ll keep you for a while
A#m D# (G# C*)(x3) G# C# G#
But one day you’ll be grown, then you’ll be on your own
[Verse 2]
G# C7
Halloween costume, looking real cute
C# G#
With your pillow case full, in your astronaut suit
C# G#
Your cousin, the cowboy, he’s eyeing your loot
A#m D#
Better watch your Snickers bar
G# C7
Out on the diamond, you’re up to bat
C# G#
Chewing your Big League, adjusting your hat
C# G#
Taking a swing and hearing it crack
A#m D#
Look at that apple fly
[Chorus 2]
A#m D#
Well tears will dry if you give them time
G# G#/G Fm
Life’s a rollercoaster, keep your arms inside
A#m D#
Fear, that’s a big emotion
C# C#/C C# C#/C A#m
But you are your mother’s child
G# G#/G G# G#/G Fm
And she’ll keep you for a while
A#m D# (G# C*)(x3) G# C# G#
But soon you’ll be grown, then you’ll be on your own
[Verse 3]
G# C7
Posing for pictures, cap and gown
C# G#
Summer is coming, you’re driving round town
C# G#
Everyone’s asking what you’re gonna do now
A#m D#
I know you’re gonna make a splash
G# C7
Find you a sweetheart, to treat you so kind
C# G#
Take her to dinner and kiss her goodnight
C# G#
What I couldn’t teach you, soon you realised
A#m D#
She’s the only thing that matters
[Chorus 3]
A#m D#
Although he’s a bastard, make your papa proud
G# G#/G Fm
You’re a fine young man and I got no doubt
A#m D#
That you’re gonna do this better
C# C#/C C# C#/C A#m
‘Cause you are your mother’s child
G# G#/G G# G#/G Fm
And she had you for a while
A#m D# G# G#/G Fm
But now you are grown, you’re making it on your own
A#m D# (G# C*)(x3) G# C# G#
Now that you’re grown, may you never feel this alone
