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