[C][G]
[Am][D]

I re[G]member the day you 
a[B7]ppeared on this earth
With [C]eyes like the ocean, 
got [G]blood on my shirt
From [C]my camera angle it 
[G]looked like it hurt
But your [Am]momma had a 
big old [D]smile

[G]We drove you home, 
saw your [B7]yellowing skin
[C]Packed a few things and 
drove [G]you back again
[C]Stayed up all night, 
worry[G]ing, wondering
[Am]What was gonna make it [D]better

[Am]Broken bones heal if 
you [D]set them right
Get your [G]fine-toothed 
[G/F#]comb from the [Em]barbicide
Our [Am]love’s a protective p[D]oison
But [C]you [C/B]are your [C]mot[C/B]her’s [Am]child
And [G]she’ll [G/F#]keep you [G]for[G/F#] a wh[Em]ile
But one [Am]day you’ll be grown, 
[D]then you’ll be on your[(G] ow[C*)(x3)]n[G][C][G]

[G]Halloween costume, 
[B7]looking real cute
With your [C]pillow case full, 
in your [G]astronaut suit
Your [C]cousin, the cowboy, 
he’s [G]eyeing your loot
[Am]Better watch your Snickers [D]bar

[G]Out on the diamond, [B7]you’re up to bat
[C]Chewing your Big League, 
a[G]djusting your hat
[C]Taking a swing and [G]hearing it crack
[Am]Look at that apple [D]fly

Well [Am]tears will dry if you [D]give them time
Life’s a [G]roller[G/F#]coaster, 
keep your [Em]arms inside
[Am]Fear, that’s a big em[D]otion
But [C]you [C/B]are your [C]mot[C/B]her’s [Am]child
And [G]she’ll [G/F#]keep you 
[G]for[G/F#] a wh[Em]ile
But [Am]soon you’ll be grown, 
[D]then you’ll be on your [G]own[C*][G][C][G]

[G]Posing for pictures, [B7]cap and gown
[C]Summer is coming, you’re [G]driving round town
[C]Everyone’s asking what you’re [G]gonna do now
I [Am]know you’re gonna make a [D]splash

[G]Find you a sweetheart, to [B7]treat you so kind
[C]Take her to dinner and [G]kiss her goodnight
What [C]I couldn’t teach you, [G]soon you realised
[Am]She’s the only thing that [D]matters

Al[Am]though he’s a bastard, make your [D]papa proud
You’re a [G]fine young [G/F#]man and I [Em]got no doubt
That [Am]you’re gonna do this b[D]etter
‘Cause [C]you [C/B]are your[C] mo[C/B]ther’s [Am]child
And [G]she [G/F#]had you [G]for[G/F#] a wh[Em]ile
But [Am]now you are grown, you’re 
[D]making it on your [G]own[G/F#][Em]
[Am]Now that you’re grown, may you[D] 
never feel this al[G]one[C*][G][C][G]
