[Intro]

Am D
[Verse 1]
G B7
I remember the day you appeared on this earth
C G
With eyes like the ocean, got blood on my shirt
C G
From my camera angle it looked like it hurt
Am D
But your momma had a big old smile
G B7
We drove you home, saw your yellowing skin
C G
Packed a few things and drove you back again
C G
Stayed up all night, worrying, wondering
Am D
What was gonna make it better
[Chorus 1]
Am D
Broken bones heal if you set them right
G G/F# Em
Get your fine-toothed comb from the barberâs side
C D
Our loveâs a protective poison
C C/B C C/B Am
But you are your motherâs child
G G/F# G G/F# Em
And sheâll keep you for a while
Am D (G Am*)(x3) G Cadd9 G
But one day youâll be grown, then youâll be on your own
[Verse 2]
G B7
Halloween costume, looking real cute
C G
With your pillow case full, in your astronaut suit
C G
Your cousin, the cowboy, heâs eyeing your loot
Am D
Better watch your Snickers bar
G B7
Out on the diamond, youâre up to bat
C G
Chewing your Big League, adjusting your hat
C G
Taking a swing and hearing it crack
Am D
Look at that apple fly
[Chorus 2]
Am D
Well tears will dry if you give them time
G G/F# Em
Lifeâs a rollercoaster, keep your arms inside
C D
Fear, thatâs a big emotion
C C/B C C/B Am
But you are your motherâs child
G G/F# G G/F# Em
And sheâll keep you for a while
Am D (G Am*)(x3) G Cadd9 G
But soon youâll be grown, then youâll be on your own
[Verse 3]
G B7
Posing for pictures, cap and gown
C G
Summer is coming, youâre driving round town
C G
Everyoneâs asking what youâre gonna do now
Am D
I know youâre gonna make a splash
G B7
Find you a sweetheart, to treat you so kind
C G
Take her to dinner and kiss her goodnight
C G
What I couldnât teach you, soon you realised
Am D
Sheâs the only thing that matters
[Chorus 3]
Am D
Although heâs a bastard, make your papa proud
G G/F# Em
Youâre a fine young man and I got no doubt
C D
That youâre gonna do this better
C C/B C C/B Am
âCause you are your motherâs child
G G/F# G G/F# Em
And she had you for a while
Am D G G/F# Em
But now you are grown, youâre making it on your own
Am D (G Am*)(x3) G Cadd9 G
Now that youâre grown, may you never feel this alone
