Intro: GB7CGCGAmDGB7
I remember the day you appeared on this earth
CG
With eyes like the ocean, got blood on my shirt
CG
From my camera angle it looked like it hurt
AmD
But your momma had a big old smile
GB7
We drove you home, saw your yellowing skin
CG
Packed a few things and drove you back again
CG
Stayed up all night, worrying, wondering
AmD
What was gonna make it better
AmD
Broken bones heal if you set them right
GG/F#Em
Get your fine-toothed comb from the barber’s side
CD
Our love’s a protective poison
CC/BCC/BAm
But you are your mother’s child
GG/F#GG/F#Em
And she’ll keep you for a while
C D (G Am*)x3 G-Cadd9-G
But one day you’ll be grown, then you’ll be on your own
GB7
Halloween costume, looking real cute
CG
With your pillow case full, in your astronaut suit
CG
Your cousin, the cowboy, he’s eyeing your loot
AmD
Better watch your Snickers bar
GB7
Out on the diamond, you’re up to bat
CG
Chewing your Big League, adjusting your hat
CG
Taking a swing and hearing it crack
AmD
Look at that apple fly
AmD
Well tears will dry if you give them time
GG/F#Em
Life’s a rollercoaster, keep your arms inside
CD
Fear, that’s a big emotion
CC/BCC/BAm
But you are your mother’s child
GG/F#GG/F#Em
And she’ll keep you for a while
C D (G Am*)x3 G-Cadd9-G
But soon you’ll be grown, then you’ll be on your own
GB7
Posing for pictures, cap and gown
CG
Summer is coming, you’re driving round town
CG
Everyone’s asking what you’re gonna do now
AmD
I know you’re gonna make a splash
GB7
Find you a sweetheart, to treat you so kind
CG
Take her to dinner and kiss her goodnight
CG
What I couldn’t teach you, soon you realised
AmD
She’s the only thing that matters
AmD
Although he’s a bastard, make your papa proud
GG/F#Em
You’re a fine young man and I got no doubt
CD
That you’re gonna do this better
CC/BCC/BAm
‘Cause you are your mother’s child
GG/F#GG/F#Em
And she had you for a while
CDGG/F#Em
But now you are grown, you’re making it on your own
C D (G Am*)x3 G-Cadd9-G
Now that you’re grown, man, you never feel this alone
