Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C][G][D]

[Verse 1]
She [G]had 13 kids,
[C]each one had [G]13 problems
[C]Three upp[G]ers, ten downers,[C]
just to [G]put up [D]with this
And she [C]don't know which [D]chil
[C]dren belong to which [G]father
But she [C]loves them [G]all anyway
and they each get [D]a kiss

[Verse 2]
And the [C]toilet ain't flushing
and the [G]toaster is smoking
The [C]vacuum don't [G]suck
but it needs a new [D]belt
But [C]she saw [G]the world through
the [C]eyes of a [G]child
And re[C]members how [G]good it was
and [D]how good it [C]felt
[G][C]

[Verse 3]
[G]
He [C]picked [G]up the paper
from the [C]bitter cold [G]morning
[C]He had just gone to [G]sleep,
he had to get up [D]for work
By [C]morning he's [G]a watchman
and by [C]night [G]he's a waiter
In the [C]late after[D]noon [G]he works as [D]a clerk

[Verse 4]
And he [C]can't pay the doctor bills,
he [G]just can't afford the pills
The [C]car's [G]repossesed and the
child [D]support's due
But [C]he saw [G]the world through
the [C]eyes of a [G]child
Big [C]problems seem [G]smaller and [D]old things [C]seem [G]new

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][Am][C][Em][Am]
[C][G][D][Bm][Asus4][D]

[Verse 5]
[G]She was just six when
[C]she turned her [G]first trick
[C]Now she's thir[G]teen and
it don't make her [D]sick
And she [C]does lots [G]of crystal
and she [C]owns her own [G]pistol
Got a [C]goldfish named [G]Silver and
a pimp who's named [D]Rick

[Verse 6]
And [C]some are like customers an
[G]d some are like patients
She'd have [C]gone back [G]to school
if she'd just had the pa[D]tience
But [C]she saw [G]the world through
the [C]eyes of a [G]child
[C]None of [G]the nightmares,
and [D]nothing to deny

[Interlude 2]
[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 7]
She saw the world through the
eyes of [G]a child
[C]Yes she's seen it [G]all and she
[D]knows they're all lies
