[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 barbicide
Am D
Our love’s a protective poison
C C/B C C/B Am
But you are your mother’s child
G G/F# G G/F# Em
And she’ll keep you for a while
Am D (G C*)(x3) G C G
But one day you’ll be grown, then you’ll be on your own
