Chords

[Intro] G C Em D G C Em D [Verse 1]
G                     C
Watching you laugh 'til you can barely breathe

Em                        D
Doing tricks out on the trampoline

 G                     C
Still refusing to brush your teeth

       Em    D       C
At the end of the day
[Verse 2]
G                       C
Trying to catch you a lightning bolt

Em                       D
Four-leaf clovers and a pot of gold

G                         C
You still don't like doing what you're told

Em             D    C
But I guess that's okay
[Chorus 1]
G                                  Em
'Cause pretty soon you'll be twenty one

D                     C
Out on the town just having fun

G                           Em
But I'll still remember you, my son

      D   C    G
From way back when

G                            Em
Pretty soon you'll be thirty-two

D                   C
You'll call me up out of the blue

G                                Em
And you'll still sound like the kid I knew

      D   C   G
From way back when
G Em D C G Gsus G [Verse 3]
G                        C
You came home crying this afternoon

  Em                           D
Some kid at school said some things about you

G                         C
Now you're feeling some kind of blue

Em               D    C
That I can't make go away
[Verse 4]
G                     C
You are moving and you are becoming

Em                             D
I guess this is where you start running

G                            C
Out of the door and into the sun

Em             D    C
And I have to be okay
[Chorus 2]
        G                       Em
'Cause pretty soon you'll be forty-three

   D                    C
You'll be looking back just like me

         G                      Em
And we'll laugh about how it use to be

D  C    G
Way back when

G                            Em
Maybe by then you'll live far away

D                       C
Some other city, and some other state

G                                     Em
Please come home for Christmas and it'll be great

D    C         G
Like way back when
[Bridge]
        Am7
Going past in the blink of an eye

      D/F#
I'd slow it down and I try and I try

     Em                       Em/C#
But I've learned you have to let go

     C                     Dsus  D
Of whatever it is you love so much
Am7 D Am7 D Am7 D [Chorus 3]
G                         Em
Pretty soon you'll be older than me

    D                    C
And I'll be a part of history

  G                      Em
I hope you'll carry the best of me

      D    C     G
From way back when

G                        Em
I know you'll carry the best of me

     D    C   G
From way back when
