    A             E 
He didnt have to wake up

Bsus2             E
He'd been up all nite

        A             E
Lying there in bed listening

       Bsus2          Dbm      Bsus2
To his new born baby cry

     A              E
He makes a pot of coffee

           Bsus2           E
He splashes water on his face

     A                E
His wife gives him a kiss and says

        Bsus2  E
It gonna be OK

          A      Bsus2     E
It wont be like this for long

      A                 Bsus2
One day we'll look back laugh'n

        Abm                 Dbm     Bsus2
At the week we brought her home

       A             E
This phase is gonna fly by

Bsus2  Abm  Dbm    Bsus2
So baby just hold on

A       Bsus2             E
It wont be like this for long

             A          E
Four years later 'bout four thirty

Bsus2                    E
She's crawling in there bed

              A               E
And when he drops her off at preschool

  Bsus2                Dbm     Bsus2
She's clinging to his leg

     A                 E
The teacher peels her off of him

   Bsus2           Dbm     Bsus2
He says what can I do

     A                 E
She says now dont you worry

                Bsus2          E
This will only last a week or two

          A      Bsus2    E
It wont be like this for long

         A              Bsus2
One day soon you'll drop her off

              Abm             Dbm      Bsus2
And she wont even know your gone

       A             E
This phase is gonna fly by

Bsus2      Abm   Dbm       Bsus2
If you can just hold on

A       Bsus2             E    
It wont be like this for long

         Dbm
Some day soon she'll be a teenager

        Bsus2
And at times he'll think she hates him 

             A                E
Then he'll walk her down the isle

              Bsus2       Abm
And raise her vale

           Dbm
But right now she up and cry'n

        Bsus2
And the truth is that he dont mind

        A           E
As he kisses her good night

                  Bsus2
And she says her prayers

    A                E
He lays down there beside her

         Bsus2              E
'Til her eyes are finally closed

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

     Bsus2         E
Cause he already knows

           A    Bsus2      E
It wont be like this for long

         A               Bsus2
One day soon that little girl is gonna be 

Abm                Dbm       Bsus2
All grown up and gone

            A             E
Yeah this phase is gonna fly by 

  Bsus2     Abm    Dbm        Bsus2
So he's try'n to hold on

  A           Bsus2              Dbm          Bsus2
'Cause it wont be like this for looooooong

A      Bsus2               E
It wont be like this for long
