[Verse 1]
D# G7
I remember the day you appeared on this earth
G# D#
With eyes like the ocean, got blood on my shirt
G# D#
From my camera angle it looked like it hurt
Fm A#
But your momma had a big old smile
D# G7
We drove you home, saw your yellowing skin
G# D#
Packed a few things and drove you back again
G# D#
Stayed up all night, worrying, wondering
Fm A#
What was gonna make it better
[Chorus 1]
Fm A#
Broken bones heal if you set them right
D# D#/D Cm
Get your fine-toothed comb from the barbicide
Fm A#
Our love’s a protective poison
G# G#/G G# G#/G Fm
But you are your mother’s child
D# D#/D D# D#/D Cm
And she’ll keep you for a while
Fm A# (D# C*)(x3) D# G# D#
But one day you’ll be grown, then you’ll be on your own
[Verse 2]
D# G7
Halloween costume, looking real cute
G# D#
With your pillow case full, in your astronaut suit
G# D#
Your cousin, the cowboy, he’s eyeing your loot
Fm A#
Better watch your Snickers bar
D# G7
Out on the diamond, you’re up to bat
G# D#
Chewing your Big League, adjusting your hat
G# D#
Taking a swing and hearing it crack
Fm A#
Look at that apple fly
[Chorus 2]
Fm A#
Well tears will dry if you give them time
D# D#/D Cm
Life’s a rollercoaster, keep your arms inside
Fm A#
Fear, that’s a big emotion
G# G#/G G# G#/G Fm
But you are your mother’s child
D# D#/D D# D#/D Cm
And she’ll keep you for a while
Fm A# (D# C*)(x3) D# G# D#
But soon you’ll be grown, then you’ll be on your own
[Verse 3]
D# G7
Posing for pictures, cap and gown
G# D#
Summer is coming, you’re driving round town
G# D#
Everyone’s asking what you’re gonna do now
Fm A#
I know you’re gonna make a splash
D# G7
Find you a sweetheart, to treat you so kind
G# D#
Take her to dinner and kiss her goodnight
G# D#
What I couldn’t teach you, soon you realised
Fm A#
She’s the only thing that matters
[Chorus 3]
Fm A#
Although he’s a bastard, make your papa proud
D# D#/D Cm
You’re a fine young man and I got no doubt
Fm A#
That you’re gonna do this better
G# G#/G G# G#/G Fm
‘Cause you are your mother’s child
D# D#/D D# D#/D Cm
And she had you for a while
Fm A# D# D#/D Cm
But now you are grown, you’re making it on your own
Fm A# (D# C*)(x3) D# G# D#
Now that you’re grown, may you never feel this alone
