Intro:  Asus2  E  Bsus2  E  x2

    Asus2        E 
He didnt have to wake up

Bsus2            E
He'd been up all night

      Asus2         E
Lying there in bed listening

       Bsus2         C#   Bsus2
To his new born baby cry

   Asus2            E 
He makes a pot of coffee

           Bsus2          E
He splashes water on his face

    Asus2             E
His wife gives him a kiss and says

       Bsus2 E
It gonna be OK

          
        Asus2   Bsus2    E
It wont be like this for long

        Asus4                 Bsus2
One day soon we'll look back laugh'n

        C#                 Ab      Bsus2
At the week we brought her home

      Asus2             E
This phase is gonna fly by

Bsus2             C#   Bsus2
So baby just hold on

Asus2      Bsus2         E

           Asus2           E
Four years later 'bout four thirty

Bsus2                    E
She's crawling in there bed

            Asus2               E
And when he drops her off at preschool

  Bsus2                C#     Bsus2
She's clinging to his leg

    Asus2             E
The teacher peels her off of him

   Bsus2           C#     Bsus2
He says what can I do

   Asus2               E
She says now dont you worry

               Bsus2          E
This will only last a week or two



         Asus2  Bsus2    E
It wont be like this for long

       Asus2              Bsus2
One day soon you'll drop her off

              C#             Ab      Bsus2
And she wont even know your gone

     Asus2              E

It wont be like this for long



         Ab
Some day soon she'll be a teenager

        Bsus2
And at times he'll think she hates him 

           Asus2             E
Then he'll walk her down the isle

              Bsus2       C#
And raise her vale

          Ab
But right now she up and cry'n

        Bsus2
And the truth is that he dont mind

      Asus2           E
As he kisses her good night

                  Bsus2
And she says her prayers



    Asus2                E
He lays down there beside her

         Bsus2              E
'Til her eyes are finally closed

          Asus2                E
And just watch'n her it breaks his heart

     Bsus2        E
Cause he already knows




         Asus2  Bsus2     E
It wont be like this for long

        Asus2            Bsus2
One day soon that little girl is gonna be 

C#                Ab     Bsus2
All grown up and gone
