[Verse 1]
 G
When you're my age

                       D             Em            C
I hope the world is kinder than it seems to be right now

        G                                D
And I hope the front page isn't just a reminder

           Em                       C
Of how we keep letting each other down

            Em                                      C
When I was your age, things didn't seem to be this hard

         Em                                              C
Riding bikes out on the street, playing tag in the backyard
[Chorus]
          G
You'll outgrow your shoes

                      D
You'll outgrow your bed

           Em
You'll outgrow this house

           C                     G
Just don't forget when you're all grown up

                   D
But you don't feel that way

          Em
You're still gonna be my baby

                      G
Even when you're my age
[Verse 2]
  G
When you're my age

                             D
You'll still be full of questions

          Em                            C
That I wish I had the answers to right now

            G                                 D
And those dark times might make you second guess it

       Em               D                          C
But I bet love will still be making the world go round

  G
When I was your age

                                  D
I didn't worry like you think you do

         Em                                   C
Back then, innocence was something you could hold on to
[Chorus]
      G
You'll outgrow your shoes

       D
You'll outgrow your bed

        Em
You'll outgrow this house

              C                 G
Just don't forget when you're all grown up

                 Em
That you won't feel that way

          Em         D       C
You're still gonna be my baby

                       G
Even when you're my age
[Verse 3]
       G
When you have kids someday

          D
I hope you teach them the Lord's prayer

             Em      D    C
Before they go to bed at night

      G                                       D
Like my daddy for me and his mother did for him

            Em             D              C
Well something about it just keeps you right

        G                             D
And I hope you don't work too much overtime

             Em                     D
So you can be right there beside them

             Em     G          C
When they close their little eyes
[Chorus]
     G
'Cause they'll outgrow their shoes

      D
They'll outgrow their beds

       Em
They'll outgrow that house

         C
And you can't stop it

          G
Life will line your face

           D
Time will turn the page

       Em            D             C
But they're still gonna be your babies

        Em           D            C
Just like you're still gonna be my baby

                      G/C
Even when you're my age

                      G/C
Even when you're my age
