Verse 1:

D                  A
You and your dad are dancing in the kitchen
Bm                  G
Life is slowing down but it's still bitchin'
  D              A
I got myself a rod but I could break it
  Bm                G
My back is still as strong as I can make it
      A
Plus your mine
  A           G         D
So who would rush right through it child of mine

Chorus:

     A   Bm    G
Child of mine, child of mine


Verse 2:

D                A
Everything you want is in your reach right now
   Bm              G
And anything that's not I have to teach somehow
D             A
Everything about you is intuitive
  Bm                    G
So those who miss the point might rush right through it
       A
Cause it's fine
           G         D
But I don't want to miss it, child of mine


Chorus:

     A   Bm    G
Child of mine, child of mine


Verse 3:

D                   A
Last night in your sleep you started crying
 Bm                    G
I can't protect you there, though I keep trying
D                  A
Sometimes you'll go places I can't get to
      Bm              G
But I've spoken to the angels who'll protect you
        A
Because you're mine
            G         D
They cast their golden light across this child


Chorus:

     A   Bm    G
Child of mine, child of mine
     D        A
Child of mine, child of mine
Bm    G
Child of mine


Verse 4:


D       Bm     A
Long nights, fast years so they say
D      Bm  A
Time won't ever feel the same
          G
And I don't want to miss it
  A        G
No I don't want to miss it
  A        G        D
And I'm not gonna miss it child of mine


Chorus:


     A   Bm    G
Child of mine, child of mine
     D       A
Child of mine, child of mine
Bm    G
Child of mine
