Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Dadd9 G Dadd9 G She had 13 kids each one had 13 problems Dadd9 G Dadd9 D 3 uppers 10 downers just to put up with this Dadd9 G Dadd9 G And she don't know which children belong to which father Dadd9 G Dadd9 D But she loves them all anyways and they each get a kiss Dadd9 G And the toilet ain't flushin' Dadd9 G And the toaster is smokin Dadd9 G The vacuum don't suck Dadd9 D But it needs a new belt Dadd9 G Dadd9 G But she saw the world through the eyes of a child Dadd9 G And remembers how it good it was D Dadd9 G And how good it felt
Dadd9 G Dadd9 G He picks up the paper in the bitter cold morning Dadd9 G Dadd9 D He had just gone to sleep, he had to get up for work Dadd9 G Dadd9 G By morning he's a watchman, by night he's a waitor Dadd9 G Dadd9 D In the late afternoon he works as a clerk Dadd9 G Dadd9 G And he can't pay the doctor bills, he just can't afford the pills Dadd9 G Dadd9 D The car's repossessed, and the child support's due Dadd9 G Dadd9 G But he saw the world through the eyes of a child Dadd9 G Big problems seemed smaller D G And old things seemed new Dadd9 G Dadd9 G Well, She was just six when she turned her first trick Dadd9 G Dadd9 D But,now she's 13 and it don't make her sick Dadd9 G And she does lots of chrystal Dadd9 G And she owns her own pistol Dadd9 G Got a goldfish named Silver Dadd9 D And a pimp who's named Rick Dadd9 G And some are like customers Dadd9 G and some are like patients Dadd9 G Dadd9 D She'd have gone back to school, if she just had the patience Dadd9 G Dadd9 G She saw the world through the eyes of a child Dadd9 G D G None of the nightmares and nothing to deny Dadd9 G Yes she saw the world Dadd9 G D And she's seen it all and she knows C G D G They're all lies
