No Charge

D G

[Verse 1]

G
Our little boy came up to his mama 
in the kitchen this evening while 
she was fixing supper
    D
And he handed her a piece of paper 
he'd been writing on
And after wiping her hands on her 
apron she read it and this is what 
            G
it said

C
For mowing the yard 5 dollars, for 
making my own bed this week 1 dollar
D
For going to the store 50 cents, for
 playing with my little brother 
while you went shopping 25 cents
G                                  
For taking out the trash 1 dollar, 
C
for getting a good report card 5 
dollars
G
And for raking the yard 2 dollars
D                                 
Total amount owed 14 dollars and 
  G
75 cents

G
Well as mama looked at him standing 
there expectantly
                    D
And I could see the memories 
flashing through her mind

And so she picked up the pen and 
turning the paper over
This is what she wrote and I read it
             G
 to him


[Chorus]

C                                 
For the nine months she carried 
                        D
you growing inside her no charge
For the nights we sat up with you 
doctoring you praying for you no 
G
charge
C                             
For the time and the tears that 
         G                   
you've cost through the years 
              D
there's no charge
When you add it all up the full cost
                   G
 of our love is no charge
C                                 
For the nights filled with dread 
                        D
and the worries ahead no charge
For advice and for knowledge and the
                         G
 cost of your college no charge
C                                 
For the toys food and clothes and 
    G                          
for wiping your nose there's no 
 D
charge
When you add it all up the full cost
                   G
 of our love is no charge


[Verse 2]

G
Well when I finished reading he had 
big tears in his eyes
And he looked up at his mother and 
D
he said mama I sure do love you
Then he took the pen and in great 
                            G
big letter he wrote Paid In Full
