(Intro.)
|(D) / (A) / |(G) / / / |(D) / (A) / |(G) / /

(Verse)
I’m a (D)wild child, defin-(A)ition
Of a (G)can’t tell me nothing won’t
You’re an (D)angel, girl, you’re (A)perfect, 
Don’t (G)know how you thought I was worth it
Well be-(D)fore too long 1 and 1 (A) made 3
And I’m (G)scared to death ‘cause he looks like me
And I (D)pray to God that (A)apple falls a little (G)further from this tree

(Chorus)
(D) I know that (A)boy won’t (D)walk on (G)water
‘Cause (G)he comes (A)from my (Bm)blood
(D) And I pray (A)one day (D)he’ll look (G)back and not be (A)all I (D)was
He (D)might not (A)live by all red (G)letters, somethin’ close to (A)that will (Bm)do
Oh, if he (D)don’t take (A)after (G)Jesus, I hope he takes (A)after (Bm)you
(A) I know he will (G)

(Verse)
All of your (D)grace, and less of my crazy
So he (G)skips all the need a lot of my savin’
Have a (D)better track record than (A)his old man
Only (G)thing I got right was your left hand (yeah)

(Chorus)
(D) I know that (A)boy won’t (D)walk on (G)water
‘Cause (G)he comes (A)from my (Bm)blood
(D) And I pray (A)one day (D)he’ll look (G)back and not be (A)all I (D)was
He (D)might not (A)live by all red (G)letters, somethin’ close to (A)that will (Bm)do
Oh, if he (A)don’t take (D)after (G)Jesus, I hope he takes (A)after (Bm)you

(Solo)
 / (A)(D)|(G) / / (A)|(Bm) / (A)(D)|(G) / 

(Bridge)
(G) He’ll probably (A)pick up a (D/F#)guitar, maybe write a few (G) songs
Oh, but if he’s (Bm)half like you, (A) he’ll do (G)half as much wrong - - -

(Chorus)
(Bm) I know that (A)boy won’t walk on (G)water
‘Cause (G)he comes (A)from my (Bm)blood
I hope (A)one day (D/F#)he’ll look (G)back and says his dad raised him (D)good
He (D)might not (A)live by all red (G)letters, somethin’ close to (A)that will (Bm)do
Oh, (Bm)if he (A)don’t take (D)after (G)Jesus, I hope he takes (A)after (D)you
(A) Oh, (G)oh, he takes (A)after (D)you (A) (G) - - - - -
