_ _ [E] _ _ _ I [A#]
remember [E] the day [C#] you appeared on this earth
[D] With eyes like the ocean, [A] got blood on my shirt
[D] From my camera angle, [A] it looked like it hurt
[Bm] But your mama had a big [E] ol' smile
_ _ _ [A] Lead your way home, [C#] saw your yellow skin
_ [D] Packed a few things and [A] drove you back again _

Get the [F#] fine tooth comb from the [F#m] barber's side
[D] Our love's a detective [E] course
_ _ [D] But you are your [Bm] mother's child
_ _ _ [G#]
She'll keep you for a [F#m] while
_ But [D] one day you'll be grown
And [E] then you'll be on your [A] own
_ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ Halloween [A] costume, _
[C#] looking real cute
With your [D] pillowcase full [A] in your astronaut suit
[D] Your cousin the cowboy, [A] he's eyeing your loot
_ [B]
They're the watch that snickers [E] all _ _
Out [A] on the diamond, _ [C#] you're up to bat
[D] _ Chewing your big lead, [A] adjusting your hat
_ [D] Taking swings and hearing you cry
_ [Bm] Look at that [C#] apple [E] pie, _ _ your [Bm] tears will dry
If you give them time, life's [A] a _ [F#] rollercoaster
Keep your [F#m] arms inside, [D] you fear that's a big [E] _ emotion
But [D] you are your mother's [Bm] child

[E] And then you'll be on [A] your _ _
[D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _

Posing [F#] for pictures, [C#] cap and gown
_ [D] Summer is coming, [A] you're driving around town
_ [D] Everyone's asking what [A] you're gonna do now
I [Bm] know you're gonna [A#] make a [E] splash
_ _ _ [A] Find you a sweetheart [D#] to treat you so kind
[D] Take her to dinner and kiss her [A] goodnight
[D] But I couldn't teach you, [A] soon you realize
[Bm] She's the only thing that [E] matters _
_ [Bm] Although he's a bastard, [E] make your papa proud
[A] You're a fine [G#] young man and [F#m] I got no doubt
That you're going to be [E] spared
_ Cause [D] you are your [B] mother's child

beautiful!
[G] I can't try this with anyone
_ _ [E] _
_ [A#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ Did you know you're still [B] a kid?
But [E] your diet's too full [B] of _ additives
[E] Passed out on the couch [B] with ashes in your [G#m] mouth
[C#m] _ Dreaming that you're hopping a fence
This [E] world must have it [C#m] out [B] for you
From [E] the shores of Montauk out to [B]
Malibu
The trappings of [F#] a [G#m] name you never could escape
These [C#m] people want to live in the past
_ Some golden age that they never [F#] had
_ [C#m] _ I thought we'd lost that [F#] Camelot
I thought we'd lost that _ [B] Camelot
Some children's story we forgot [G#] and _ rewrote
Oh, it's so [C#m] long
I _
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [E] can't get far to make a [B] phrase
In a [E] place that's so [C#m] cruel and [B] partisan
But [E] you should go and stop, [G#m] stop, come for a while
[C#m] Live outside of Bolivians' [F#] lands
_ [E] Someday you'll have a find [B] of host
_ [E] In a cemetery [C#] plotting [B] high and a sport
[E] Next time [C#m] you close your eyes on a [B] helicopter [C#m] ride
I hope you see it isn't your fault
[F#] Man, I hope you know it isn't [F#] your fault
[C#m] _ I thought they shot that Camelot
I thought they shot that [B] Camelot
Whoever shot this movie, stop, [G#] be
_ Roll said, [C#m] show _
_ _ _ With my _ soul
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Lying in [G#m] an office on an old chaise lounge
Listen to the doctor drone
_ _ [E] No therapeutic feeling [B] once the shock wears off
Answer every [F#] question, no
_ _ [B] _ Hiding in the hammock, the shades pulled [C#m] down
Wondering if the story's broke
_ _ [E] _ _
Tragedies profit [Em] once the work gets [B] done
Like a tabloid at the country [F#] store
_ _ [B] _ Searching under tables when the bar closed down
[C#m] Says somebody stole your phone
[E] Now there's no one to talk to but these trust fund [B] drunks
Should've brought a _ [F#] chaperone
_ [B] Okay, I'd love to help you but I just don't count
[C#m] Friendship makes you paranoid
I [E] don't believe in curses but [Em] I just might [B] now
You never really had a [F#] choice
[D#] Like all _ [G#] those broke, cheap [Em] toys _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] You know this [B] life is rich
_ [E] _ Pleasure's not [C#m] the same as [B] happiness
_ [E] If you don't [F#] collide with the [G#m] traffic in your mind
I [C#m] think you'll find your way [F#] out of this
_ [C#m] I hope you find your way [F#] out of this
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
