[Verse 1]
E G#7
I remember the day you appeared on this earth
A E
With eyes like the ocean, got blood on my shirt
A E
From my camera angle it looked like it hurt
F#m B
But your momma had a big old smile
E G#7
We drove you home, saw your yellowing skin
A E
Packed a few things and drove you back again
A E
Stayed up all night, worrying, wondering
F#m B
What was gonna make it better
[Chorus 1]
F#m B
Broken bones heal if you set them right

Get your fine-toothed comb from the barbicide

Our love’s a protective poison

But you are your mother’s child
E E/D# E E/D# C#m
And she’ll keep you for a while
F#m B (E C*)(x3) E A E
But one day you’ll be grown, then you’ll be on your own
[Verse 2]
E G#7
Halloween costume, looking real cute
A E
With your pillow case full, in your astronaut suit
A E
Your cousin, the cowboy, he’s eyeing your loot
F#m B
Better watch your Snickers bar
E G#7
Out on the diamond, you’re up to bat
A E
Chewing your Big League, adjusting your hat
A E
Taking a swing and hearing it crack
F#m B
Look at that apple fly
[Chorus 2]
F#m B
Well tears will dry if you give them time
E E/D# C#m
Life’s a rollercoaster, keep your arms inside

Fear, that’s a big emotion

But you are your mother’s child

Posing for pictures, cap and gown

Summer is coming, you’re driving round town

Everyone’s asking what you’re gonna do now
F#m B
I know you’re gonna make a splash
E G#7
Find you a sweetheart, to treat you so kind
A E
Take her to dinner and kiss her goodnight

What I couldn’t teach you, soon you realised
F#m B
She’s the only thing that matters
[Chorus 3]

Although he’s a bastard, make your papa proud
E E/D# C#m
You’re a fine young man and I got no doubt
F#m B
That you’re gonna do this better
A A/G# A A/G# F#m
‘Cause you are your mother’s child
E E/D# E E/D# C#m
And she had you for a while

But now you are grown, you’re making it on your own

Now that you’re grown, may you never feel this alone
