[Verse 1]
         A            Bm             G
Wasn't I brushing the hair from your face

D               A           Bm
  Wasn't I just drying your tears and

G                           A
Singing you sweet dreams at night

                  Bm         G
Seems like it was just yesterday

         A           Bm
Suddenly you're seventeen

         G                             Bm
And it's just eighteen months till goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
             Gb
I'd rather deny it

                   D
And God knows I've tried

                         E
I could keep you here at home

      Gm   G
But I know
[Chorus]
D
  Loving you is holding you

A
  And lifting you up

                 Bm             A            G
And planting the seeds and then watching you grow

D
  Even though it's hard to do

A
  It's letting you fall

               Bm           A           G
And giving you wings so you fly on your own

                                         D
'Cause part of loving you is letting you go
[Solo] D Gbm Gbm Bm D G [Verse 2]
            A            Bm           G
All of your life I've prepared you to leave

                A              Bm
Now that little boys all grown up

         G            D             A
And it's too late for changing your mind

       Bm          G           A            Bm
Nobody ever warned me that the years go too fast

            G                  Bm
And there's just no pressing rewind
[Pre-Chorus]
                 Gb
'Cause time is a liar

                              D
Wish I could set the clock on fire

                      E
Turn it back to yesterday

    Gm                     D
But it just keeps ticking away
[Chorus]
D
  Loving you is holding you

A
  And lifting you up

                 Bm             A            G
And planting the seeds and then watching you grow

D
  Even though it's hard to do

A
  It's letting you fall

               Bm           A           G
And giving you wings so you fly on your own

                                         D
'Cause part of loving you is letting you go, oh
[Bridge]
Gbm                                Bm
    No matter how I wanna make you stay

A            G
    You were also born to fly away
[Chorus]
D
  Loving you is holding you

A
  And lifting you up

                 Bm             A            G
And planting the seeds and then watching you grow, oh oh oh

D
  Even though it's hard to do

A
  It's letting you fall

               Bm           A           G
And giving you wings so you fly on your own

                                         D
'Cause part of loving you is letting you go
[Outro]
D    Gbm                Bm   A   G
            Letting you go,  oh  oh
