[Intro] Am Em Am Bm [Verse 1]
Am                      Am              Em               Em
It changed my life when she was born, more than anything before

Am                   Am           Bm                 Bm
My routines were all suspended, my carefree life had ended

Am                  Am      Em                     Bm
I taught her how to talk, making funny noises as we’d walk

Am               Am       Bm                  Bm
She scared me to death, crying till she held her breath
[Chorus]
G                 G     C     Am      D
In a couple more years she’ll be on her way

G             G              C           Am      D
A couple more years and so many things I want to say

G                   G            C      Am    D
Just a couple more years - she’s eager to be free

G                  G  C              Am       D
And already she wants less and less time with me
[Bridge] Am Em Am Bm [Verse 2]
Am                   Am       Em               Em
She followed all the rules, aced everything in school

Am                  Am           Bm                      Bm
She loves her little brothers, but they always fight with each other

Am                   Am          Em            Bm     
I know that she’d be happiest, if I’d do just what she wished

Am                    Am         Bm                  Bm
She always chose good friends, never cared about the latest trends
[Chorus]
G                 G     C     Am      D
In a couple more years she’ll be on her way

G             G              C           Am      D
A couple more years and so many things I want to say

G                   G            C      Am    D
Just a couple more years - she’s eager to be free

G                  G  C              Am       D
And already she wants less and less time with me
[Bridge] Am Em Am Bm [Verse 3]
Am                 Am                   Em                 Em
When our house was falling apart, she kept us together for another start

Am                      Am               Bm                Bm 
I didn’t know what she needed from me, chaos was swirling, made it hard to see

Am                 Am             Em                       Em
So she kept it all hidden inside, barely even talked to me when I tried

Am                         Am          Bm                     Bm
Relying on herself was the only way, alone amongst us but she seemed ok.
[Chorus]
G                 G     C     Am      D
In a couple more years she’ll be on her way

G             G              C           Am      D
A couple more years and so many things I want to say

G                   G            C      Am    D
Just a couple more years - she’s eager to be free

G                  G  C              Am       D
And already she wants less and less time with me
[Bridge] Am Em Am Bm [Verse 4]
Am                         Am         Em                                 Em
Now she’s almost grown and so mature, she’ll succeed on her own no matter what she endures

Am                        Am             Bm                        Bm
She’s kind and honest and pure of heart, not to mention the girl is wickedly smart.

Am                       Am              Em                      Bm
I hope she knows I’ll do whatever I can, to help her achieve anything in her plan

Am                     Am                   Bm                                      Bm
Cause I love that girl more than she knows, I just hope she'll spend some time with me before she goes.
[Chorus]
G                 G     C     Am      D
In a couple more years she’ll be on her way

G             G              C           Am      D
A couple more years and so many things I want to say

G                   G            C      Am    D
Just a couple more years - she’s eager to be free

G                  G  C              Am       D
And already she wants less and less time with me
[Outro]
C             Am        D
Less and less time with me

C             Am        D
Less and less time with me
