(Verse 1)
(D)Hospital to home was a four minute drive (Bm)
With a (D/A)baby on board made it thirty five (G)
We (D)didn't sleep a wink that night (Bm)
Just (D/A)laid by that crib singing nursery rhymes (G)
 
(Pre-Chorus)
(G)These are the days that (D)we'll want back / / / |(G) / / / |(G) /
 
(Verse 2)
The (D)kindergarten drop off line (Bm)
His (D/A)first day of school didn't even cry (G)
(D)That was when we knew that life (Bm)
Had a (D/A)funny way of passing us by (G)
 
(Pre-Chorus)
These are the days that (D)we'll want back / / / (G) / / / |(G) /
 
(Chorus)
Tell them (Bm)bed time (G)stories
Give' em a (D)kiss good (A)ight
Darling be-(Bm)fore we (G)know it
This old (D)house will be (A)quiet
I know we're (Bm)tired right now (G)
But someday we'll (D)laugh about (A) it
Let's slow it (Bm)down and raise (G) a glass (A)
These are the days that (D)we'll want back
 
(Verse 3)
(D)Took us a day to build that bike (Bm)
Felt like we (D/A)only got a minute to watch him ride (G)
Juggling (D)dinner, school and practice times (Bm)
Trying to (D/A)make it through to that glass of cheap wine (G)
 
(Pre-Chorus)
These are the days that (D)we'll want back
We'll (G)want back
 
(Chorus)
Tell them (Bm)bed time (G)stories
Give' em a (D)kiss good (A)night
Darling be-(Bm)fore we (G)know it
This old (D)house will be (A)quiet
I know we're (Bm)tired right now (G)
But someday we'll (D)laugh about (A) it
Let's slow it (Bm)down and raise (G) a glass (A)
These are the days that (D)we'll want back
 
(Bridge)
All of the (Bm)countless cra-(G)-zy sleep-(D)-less nights (A)
All of the (Bm)firsts' and the lasts' (G) and the tears (D) that we cried (A)
All of the how (Bm) does this work (G) Dad and Mom (D) tell me why (A)
Sometimes (Bm)growing up (D/F#)feels like goodbye (G) - - -
 
(Verse 4)
(D)There was time when we were your world (Bm)
Now you're (D/A)moving on to marry your girl (G)
Go (D)buy her a house and call it (Bm)home
(A/C#)Give her a life and some kids of her own  (G) (D)
 
(Chorus)
Tell them (Bm)bed time (G)stories
Give' em a (D)kiss good (A)night
Cause be-(Bm)fore you (G)know it
That old (D)house will be (A)quiet
I know you're (Bm)wild right now (D)
Someday we'll (D)laugh about (A) it
Let's raise a (Bm)glass and toast (G) to that (A)
We'll always (Bm)be your mom (G) and dad (A)
These are the days that (D)we'll want back
