[Intro]
D(1), C5 , G5 , D5 (2 fr.) (x2)
[Verse 1]
D5
You left Billy with the kid
D5 G5 E5
And all the selfless things you did with Billy
D5
You left your home town in the spring
D5 G5 E5
And turned your back on everything
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C5
You thought your life would just go by
G5 A5 A5
Without a pause to wonder, don't be silly
[Chorus]
D(1) C5 G5 D5 (2 fr.)
You can't live your life in the baby seat
D(1) C5
You've got to stand on your own
G5 D5 (2 fr.)
Don't admit defeat
[Verse 2]
He came down from his retreat
She saw him later on the street
He said "You are the only one
to recognize that I'm the son"
[Pre-Chorus 2]
So she bent down and kissed his feet
And then that night, between the sheets she told him
[Chorus]
You can't live your life in the baby seat
You've got to stand on your own
Don't admit defeat
D(1) C5 G5 D5 (2 fr.)
You can't live your life in the baby seat
D(1) C5 G5 D5
Aaahhhhhhh, aaahhhhhhh
[Bridge]
A5 E5
40 days at sea
B5 A5 G5 D5 (2 fr.)
Then she turned and said to me
A5 E5
"If we make it back
B5 A5 G5 A5
I'll renounce Jack Kerouac
B5 A5 G5 A5
And all of that romantic crap
B5 A5 G5 A5 A5
Like I'm an artist don't look back"
[Verse 3]
Now we're living somewhere else
We keep opinions to ourselves
But still we seek a sneaky peek at heaven
When the working week defeats us
[Pre-Chorus 3]
If you think growing up is tough
Then you've just not grown enough, baby
[Chorus] (x2)
You can't live your life in the baby seat
You've got to stand on your own
Don't admit defeat
You can't live your life in the baby seat
Aaahhhhhhh, aaahhhhhhh
You can't live your life in the baby seat
Aaahhhhhhh, aaahhhhhhh
[Coda]
G5 , D5 (2 fr.)
[End on D(2)]
