[Verse 1]
D F#7
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
Em A
But your momma had a big old smile
D F#7
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
Em A
What was gonna make it better
[Chorus 1]
Em A
Broken bones heal if you set them right
D D/C# Bm
Get your fine-toothed comb from the barbicide
Em A
Our love’s a protective poison
G G/F# G G/F# Em
But you are your mother’s child
D D/C# D D/C# Bm
And she’ll keep you for a while
Em A (D C*)(x3) D G D
But one day you’ll be grown, then you’ll be on your own
[Verse 2]
D F#7
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
Em A
Better watch your Snickers bar
D F#7
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
Em A
Look at that apple fly
[Chorus 2]
Em A
Well tears will dry if you give them time
D D/C# Bm
Life’s a rollercoaster, keep your arms inside
Em A
Fear, that’s a big emotion
G G/F# G G/F# Em
But you are your mother’s child
D D/C# D D/C# Bm
And she’ll keep you for a while
Em A (D C*)(x3) D G D
But soon you’ll be grown, then you’ll be on your own
[Verse 3]
D F#7
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
Em A
I know you’re gonna make a splash
D F#7
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
Em A
She’s the only thing that matters
[Chorus 3]
Em A
Although he’s a bastard, make your papa proud
D D/C# Bm
You’re a fine young man and I got no doubt
Em A
That you’re gonna do this better
G G/F# G G/F# Em
‘Cause you are your mother’s child
D D/C# D D/C# Bm
And she had you for a while
Em A D D/C# Bm
But now you are grown, you’re making it on your own
Em A (D C*)(x3) D G D
Now that you’re grown, may you never feel this alone
