D#m G#
[Verse 1]
C# F7
I remember the day you appeared on this earth
F# C#
With eyes like the ocean, got blood on my shirt
F# C#
From my camera angle it looked like it hurt
D#m G#
But your momma had a big old smile
C# F7
We drove you home, saw your yellowing skin
F# C#
Packed a few things and drove you back again
F# C#
Stayed up all night, worrying, wondering
D#m G#
What was gonna make it better
[Chorus 1]
D#m G#
Broken bones heal if you set them right
C# C#/C A#m
Get your fine-toothed comb from the barbicide
D#m G#
Our love’s a protective poison
F# F#/F F# F#/F D#m
But you are your mother’s child
C# C#/C C# C#/C A#m
And she’ll keep you for a while
D#m G# (C# C*)(x3) C# F# C#
But one day you’ll be grown, then you’ll be on your own
[Verse 2]
C# F7
Halloween costume, looking real cute
F# C#
With your pillow case full, in your astronaut suit
F# C#
Your cousin, the cowboy, he’s eyeing your loot
D#m G#
Better watch your Snickers bar
C# F7
Out on the diamond, you’re up to bat
F# C#
Chewing your Big League, adjusting your hat
F# C#
Taking a swing and hearing it crack
D#m G#
Look at that apple fly
[Chorus 2]
D#m G#
Well tears will dry if you give them time
C# C#/C A#m
Life’s a rollercoaster, keep your arms inside
D#m G#
Fear, that’s a big emotion
F# F#/F F# F#/F D#m
But you are your mother’s child
C# C#/C C# C#/C A#m
And she’ll keep you for a while
D#m G# (C# C*)(x3) C# F# C#
But soon you’ll be grown, then you’ll be on your own
[Verse 3]
C# F7
Posing for pictures, cap and gown
F# C#
Summer is coming, you’re driving round town
F# C#
Everyone’s asking what you’re gonna do now
D#m G#
I know you’re gonna make a splash
C# F7
Find you a sweetheart, to treat you so kind
F# C#
Take her to dinner and kiss her goodnight
F# C#
What I couldn’t teach you, soon you realised
D#m G#
She’s the only thing that matters
[Chorus 3]
D#m G#
Although he’s a bastard, make your papa proud
C# C#/C A#m
You’re a fine young man and I got no doubt
D#m G#
That you’re gonna do this better
F# F#/F F# F#/F D#m
‘Cause you are your mother’s child
C# C#/C C# C#/C A#m
And she had you for a while
D#m G# C# C#/C A#m
But now you are grown, you’re making it on your own
D#m G# (C# C*)(x3) C# F# C#
Now that you’re grown, may you never feel this alone
