I remember the day you appeared on this earth

With eyes like the ocean, got blood on my shirt

C                                                                            G  
Packed a few things and drove you back again
C                                                                    G  
Stayed up all night worrying, wondering
Am                                                      D

G                                              B7  
Halloween costume, looking real cute
                          C                                                              G  
With your pillowcase full, in your astronaut suit
                        C                                                    G  
But your cousin the cowboy is eyeing your loot
Am                                         D  
Better watch your Snickers bar

Out on the diamond, now you're up to bat
C                                                                    G  
Chewing your big league, adjusting your hat

Taking a swing and hearing it crack

Life's a roller coaster, keep your arms inside

Invite her to dinner and kiss her goodnight

She's the only thing that matters
