VERSE:

Em                   C    

    You were a child

                   G              D

Crawling on your knees toward him

Em                   C      

    Making momma so proud

G                         D       

   But your voice is too loud

Em   C                   G           D

        We like to watch you laughing

Em                         C

BREAKDOWN (one strum per chord):

Em                   C    

    The water is warm

                 G          D

But it's sending me shivers

Em               C    

    G baby is born

G                    D

   Crying out for attention

Em               C    

    Memories fade

                        G           D

Like looking through a fogged mirror

   Em                      C    

Decisions to decisions are made and not bought

        G                           D

But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot, I guess not
