Capo 1
Cadd11 C
When you have a child
Cadd11 C
You learn it's a serious business
Am D/A Am D/A
To have a little fun
Gadd11 G
You give grace and get forgiveness
Gadd11
Not seven times seven
G Cadd11 C Cadd11 C
But seven times seventy-one
And when you have a child
Those four walls you call a house
Take on a life of it's own
When you bring 'em home
You will cry and you will laugh
When they hurt it cuts you in half
Gadd11 G
It's your flesh and bone
Em Am
And year after year
Em Am
Pictures fill page after page
Em Am
They never really grow up
Em Am
Still your baby at any age
Dm
The first time you hold 'em
C
It's like you see God's smile
F Gadd11 G
What a smile
Cadd11 C
When you have a child
And then boy meets girl
And perfume and gasoline
Rain on your perfect world
Curfews are often broken
Thank you� s aren't spoken

Dm
He's got the keys to that old Dodge
C
And she's wearing a corsage
F Gadd11 G
And her mama's pearls
And year after year
Pictures fill page after page
They never really grow up
Still your baby at any age
And the first time you hold 'em
It's like you feel God's smile
What a smile
Cadd11 C
When you have a child
Am Bb
You pray that phone call never comes
Dm
And if God forbid
C/E
How would you live
F G
How could you go on
G#dim Am F
And on and on and on
And year after year
Close the chapter and turn the page
Blue ribbons and losing seasons
Flipping tassles on the stage
Oh but you don't need a photograph
You've got at least a million
Pictures of that smile
When you close your eyes
When you love a child
Ohh when you love a child
