[Verse 1]
C E7
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
Dm G
But your momma had a big old smile
C E7
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
Dm G
What was gonna make it better
[Chorus 1]
Dm G
Broken bones heal if you set them right
C C/B Am
Get your fine-toothed comb from the barbicide
Dm G
Our love’s a protective poison
F F/E F F/E Dm
But you are your mother’s child
C C/B C C/B Am
And she’ll keep you for a while
Dm G (C C*)(x3) C F C
But one day you’ll be grown, then you’ll be on your own
[Verse 2]
C E7
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
Dm G
Better watch your Snickers bar
C E7
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
Dm G
Look at that apple fly
[Chorus 2]
Dm G
Well tears will dry if you give them time
C C/B Am
Life’s a rollercoaster, keep your arms inside
Dm G
Fear, that’s a big emotion
F F/E F F/E Dm
But you are your mother’s child
C C/B C C/B Am
And she’ll keep you for a while
Dm G (C C*)(x3) C F C
But soon you’ll be grown, then you’ll be on your own
[Verse 3]
C E7
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
Dm G
I know you’re gonna make a splash
C E7
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
Dm G
She’s the only thing that matters
[Chorus 3]
Dm G
Although he’s a bastard, make your papa proud
C C/B Am
You’re a fine young man and I got no doubt
Dm G
That you’re gonna do this better
F F/E F F/E Dm
‘Cause you are your mother’s child
C C/B C C/B Am
And she had you for a while
Dm G C C/B Am
But now you are grown, you’re making it on your own
Dm G (C C*)(x3) C F C
Now that you’re grown, may you never feel this alone
