Intro: G   B7   C   G   C   G   Am D 

verse 1: 
    G                    B7 
I remember the day you appeared on this earth 

     C                        G 
With eyes like the ocean, got blood on my shirt 

     C                                 G 
From my camera angle it looked like it hurt 

         Am                 D 
But your mama had a big old smile 

G                           B7 
We drove you home, saw your yellowing skin 

C                             G 
Packed a few things and drove you back again 

C                          G    
Stayed up all night worrying, wondering 

Am                     D 
What was gonna make it better 

Pre-Chorus 
   Am7                     D 
Broken bones heal when you set them right 

         G          G/F#          Em 
Get your fine tooth comb from the barbicide 

    C                   D 
Our love's a protective poison
