[Verse 1]
B D#7
I remember the day you appeared on this earth
E B
With eyes like the ocean, got blood on my shirt
E B
From my camera angle it looked like it hurt
C#m F#
But your momma had a big old smile
B D#7
We drove you home, saw your yellowing skin
E B
Packed a few things and drove you back again
E B
Stayed up all night, worrying, wondering
C#m F#
What was gonna make it better
[Chorus 1]
C#m F#
Broken bones heal if you set them right
B B/A# G#m
Get your fine-toothed comb from the barbicide
C#m F#
Our love’s a protective poison
E E/D# E E/D# C#m
But you are your mother’s child
B B/A# B B/A# G#m
And she’ll keep you for a while
C#m F# (B C*)(x3) B E B
But one day you’ll be grown, then you’ll be on your own
[Verse 2]
B D#7
Halloween costume, looking real cute
E B
With your pillow case full, in your astronaut suit
E B
Your cousin, the cowboy, he’s eyeing your loot
C#m F#
Better watch your Snickers bar
B D#7
Out on the diamond, you’re up to bat
E B
Chewing your Big League, adjusting your hat
E B
Taking a swing and hearing it crack
C#m F#
Look at that apple fly
[Chorus 2]
C#m F#
Well tears will dry if you give them time
B B/A# G#m
Life’s a rollercoaster, keep your arms inside
C#m F#
Fear, that’s a big emotion
E E/D# E E/D# C#m
But you are your mother’s child
B B/A# B B/A# G#m
And she’ll keep you for a while
C#m F# (B C*)(x3) B E B
But soon you’ll be grown, then you’ll be on your own
[Verse 3]
B D#7
Posing for pictures, cap and gown
E B
Summer is coming, you’re driving round town
E B
Everyone’s asking what you’re gonna do now
C#m F#
I know you’re gonna make a splash
B D#7
Find you a sweetheart, to treat you so kind
E B
Take her to dinner and kiss her goodnight
E B
What I couldn’t teach you, soon you realised
C#m F#
She’s the only thing that matters
[Chorus 3]
C#m F#
Although he’s a bastard, make your papa proud
B B/A# G#m
You’re a fine young man and I got no doubt
C#m F#
That you’re gonna do this better
E E/D# E E/D# C#m
‘Cause you are your mother’s child
B B/A# B B/A# G#m
And she had you for a while
C#m F# B B/A# G#m
But now you are grown, you’re making it on your own
C#m F# (B C*)(x3) B E B
Now that you’re grown, may you never feel this alone
