[Intro] G D Asus2 D x2 [Verse]
    G              D
He didn't have to wake up

Asus2             D
He'd been up all night

        G             D
Lying there in bed listening

       Asus2          Bm      Asus2
To his newborn  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 won't 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

   F#m  Bm    Asus2
So baby just hold on

G        Asus2             D
It won't be like this for long
[Verse]
             G          D
Four years later 'bout four thirty

Asus2                    D
She's crawling in their bed

              G               D
And when he drops her off at pre-school

  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 don't you worry

                Asus2          D
This will only last a week or two
[Chorus]
           G      Asus2    D
It won't be like this for long

         G              Asus2
One day soon you'll drop her off

               F#m               Bm      Asus2
And she won't even know you're gone

       G             D
This phase is gonna fly by

Asus2      F#m   Bm       Asus2
If you can just hold on

G        Asus2             D
It won't be like this for long
[Bridge]
   Em   F#m      G       D
Some day soon she'll be a teenager

        D
And at times he'll think she hates him

             G                D
Then he'll walk her down the aisle

              Asus4   A       F#
And raise her veil

           Bm
But right now she up and cry'n

        D
And the truth is that he don't mind

        G           D
As he kisses her good night

                  Asus4   A
And she says her prayers
[Verse]
    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 won't 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 won't be like this for looooooong

G       Asus2               D
It won't be like this for long
[Outro] G D Asus2 D x2
