D                                G
If it weren't for kids have you ever thought
        D              A   
There wouldn't be no Santa Clause
      G
Look what the store just brought
       A       D
Thank God for Kids

                     G
We'd all live in a quiet house
    D                   A
Without Big Bird or a Mickey Mouse
     G 
And Kool-aid on the couch 
       A       D
Thank God for Kids

[Chorus]
       G                     A           D 
Thank God for kids there's magic for a while
       G            A            D
A special kind of sunshine in a smile
        G             A              Bm    A
Do you ever stop to think? or wonder why?
      G                Em         C     G    A
The dearest thing to Heaven is a child

  D             G
Daddy how does this thing fly?
D                 A
A hundred other where's and why's
            G
You really don't know but we try
  A            D
Thank God for Kids

 D                              G
When you look down in those trustin eyes
      D                A
That look to you, you realize
     G 
Its love that you can't buy
       A       D
Thank God for Kids

[Chorus]
       G                     A           D 
Thank God for kids there's magic for a while
       G            A            D
A special kind of sunshine in a smile
        G             A              Bm    A
Do you ever stop to think? or wonder why?
      G                Em         C     G    A
The dearest thing to Heaven is a child

[Outro]
          D 
When you get down on your knees tonight
                                   A
To thank the Lord for his guiding light
     G                     A
And pray they turn out right
               D
Thank God for Kids
