My Only Child

A - D - A

[Verse 1]
A           D
I know you wish
                                               A
You had a brother who had blue eyes just like you
             D
I know you wish
                                             A
You had a sister you could tell your secrets to
               D
Maybe we'll miss
                                    A
Having four sets of china on the table
                     D
But I guarantee you this
                                        E    F#m
You mean more to me than branches to a maple


[Chorus]
               D
Pink painted walls
                   A
Your face in my locket
               E
Your daddy and me
                  F#m
Your tiny back pocket
               D
Mama's first love
              A
Last of my kind
                E             A
You'll always be my only child

[Interlude]
D  A

[Verse 2]
                  D
Well I can't let go
                                      A
Of watercolor memories that you made me
                 D
And I'm holding on
                                      E       F#m
To the innocence of tea parties and daydreams



[Chorus]
               D
Pink painted walls
                   A
Your face in my locket
               E
Your daddy and me
                  F#m
Your tiny back pocket
               D
Mama's first love
              A
Last of my kind
                E             D
You'll always be my only child


[Interlude]
E  F#m  A  D  E  A


[Verse 3]
                D
Someday your wish
                                       A
Will come true when your first baby's born
                           D
And you'll cherish every kiss
                                 E           F#m
And wonder how you could love something more


[Chorus]

               D
Pink painted walls
                   A
Your face in my locket
               E
Your daddy and me
                  F#m
Your tiny back pocket
               D
Mama's first love
              A
Last of my kind
                E             F#m    D
You'll always be my only child   (Child)
          A              E
My only child (My only child)
           F#m     D
My only child (Child)
         A                E
My only child (My only child)


[Outro]
A              D
I know you wish
                                               A
You had a brother who had blue eyes just like you
