[G]
[D] [G] She had 13 kids, each one had 13 problems.
Three uppers, 10 downers, just to put up with [D] this.
And she don't know which children belong to which father.
But [C] she loves them [G] all anyway, and they each get [D] a kiss.
And the [C] toilet and [G] the toaster is smoking.
The vacuum don't suck, but it needs a [D] new bell.
[C] But she saw the [A] world [C] through the eyes [G] of a child.
[C] And remembers how [G] good it [D] was, and how good [C] it [G] felt.
[C] [G]
She picked up the paper from the bitter cold morning.
[C] He had just gone [G] to sleep, he had to get up [D] for work.
[G] By morning he's a watchman, by night he's a waiter.
[C] In the late [G] afternoon he works [D] as a clerk.
[C] And he can't pay the doctor [G] bills, he just can't afford the bills.
The cars repossess, and the child's a [D] porch too.
[C] But he saw the [G] world through [C] the eyes [G] of a child.
[C] Big problems [G] seem smaller, [D] and old things [G] seem new.
[Am] [C] [Em]
[A] [C]
[G] [D] [Dm]
[Bm] [D] [G] Well she was just six when she [C] turned her [G] first trick.
And now she's 13 and it don't make [D] her sick.
And [G] she does lots of crystal, [C] and she owns her [G] own pistol.
Got a [C] goldfish [G] named Silver, and a pimp whose [D] name Rick.
[C] And some are [G] lovers and some are like patients.
She'd [G] have gone back to school if she'd just had the [D] patience.
[C] But she saw [G] the world through the [C] eyes [G] of a child.
[C] None of the [A] nightmares [D] are nothing to [G] deny.
She saw the world through the eyes of a child.
Yes she's seen it all and she knows they're [A] all [C] lies.
