Intro:
G D Asus2 D x2
[Verse]
G D
He didnt have to wake up
Asus2 D
He'd been up all nite
G D
Lying there in bed listening
Asus2 Bm Asus2
To his new born baby cry
G D
He makes a pot of coffee
Asus2 D
He splashes water on his face
G D
His wife gives him a kiss and says
Asus2 D
It gonna be OK
[Chorus]
G Asus2 D
It wont be like this for long
G Asus2
One day we'll look back laugh'n
F#m Bm Asus2
At the week we brought her home
G D
This phase is gonna fly by
Asus2 F#m Bm Asus2
So baby just hold on
G Asus2 D
It wont be like this for long
[Verse]
G D
Four years later 'bout four thirty
Asus2 D
She's crawling in there bed
G D
And when he drops her off at preschool
Asus2 Bm Asus2
She's clinging to his leg
G D
The teacher peels her off of him
Asus2 Bm Asus2
He says what can I do
G D
She says now dont you worry
Asus2 D
This will only last a week or two
[Chorus]
G Asus2 D
It wont be like this for long
G Asus2
One day soon you'll drop her off
F#m Bm Asus2
And she wont even know your gone
G D
This phase is gonna fly by
Asus2 F#m Bm Asus2
If you can just hold on
G Asus2 D
It wont be like this for long
[Verse]
Bm
Some day soon she'll be a teenager
Asus2
And at times he'll think she hates him
G D
Then he'll walk her down the isle
Asus2 F#m
And raise her vale
Bm
But right now she up and cry'n
Asus2
And the truth is that he dont mind
G D
As he kisses her good night
Asus2
And she says her prayers
[Bridge]
G D
He lays down there beside her
Asus2 D
'Til her eyes are finally closed
G D
And just watch'n her it breaks his heart
Asus2 D
Cause he already knows
[Chorus]
G Asus2 D
It wont be like this for long
G Asus2
One day soon that little girl is gonna be
F#m Bm Asus2
All grown up and gone
G D
Yeah this phase is gonna fly by
Asus2 F#m Bm Asus2
So he's try'n to hold on
G Asus2 Bm Asus2
'Cause it wont be like this for looooooong
G Asus2 D
It wont be like this for long
[Outro]
