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
