I remember the day you appeared on this earth

With eyes like the ocean, got blood on my shirt

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

Halloween costume, looking real cute

With your pillow case full, in your astronaut suit
     C                        G
Your cousin, the cowboy, he’s eyeing your loot

Well tears will dry if you give them time

Life’s a rollercoaster, keep your arms inside
C                   D
Fear, that’s a big emotion
    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
    C                     D                     (G Am*)x3 G-Cadd9-G

She’s the only thing that matters

You’re a fine young man and I got no doubt

That you’re gonna do this better
