G  D  Asus2  D

G                     D
He didnt have to wake up
Asus2  	       D   
He'd been up all night
      G             D
Lying there in bed listen
      Asus2          Bm       Asus2  G
To his new born baby cry
                   D
He makes a pot of coffee
        Asus2            Bm
He splashes water on his face
   G                 D
His wife gives him a kiss and says
    Asus2   D
It gonna be OK

       G         Asus2        D
It wont be like this for long
       G                      Asus2
One day soon we'll look back laugh'n
         F#                Bm    Asus2
At the week we brought her home
     G                  D
This phase is gonna fly by
   Asus2   A#m    Bm  Asus2 G(walk up and back down)
So baby just hold on
        Asus2             G
It wont be like this for long

(Break) G  D  Asus2  D

         G            D  
Four years later bout four thirty
    Asus2                 D
She's crawling in there bed
           G                   D
And when he drops her off at preschool
   Asus2              Bm   Asus2  G
She's clinging to his leg
                     D
The teacher peels her off of him
    Asus2            Bm
He says what can I do
    G                 D
She says now dont you worry
          Asus2               D
This will only last a week or two


       G        Asus2    D
It wont be like this for long
    G                Asus2
One day soon we'll drop her off
           F#               Bm    Asus2
And she wont even know your gone
     G              D
This phase is gonna fly by
Asus2   A#m   Bm   Asus2 G
If you can just hold on
        Asus2             G
It wont be like this for long

       Em                  
One day soon she'll be a teenager
       F#m
And at times you'll think she hates him
           G         
Then he'll walk her down the isle
Bm               Asus2
And he'll raise her vale
    A#m      Bm
But right now she up and crying
        Asus2
And the truth is that he dont mind
      G
As he kisses her good night
               Asus2
And she says her prayers
     G             D
He lays down there beside her
         Asus2           Bm
Till her eyes are finally closed
         G             D
And just watching her it breaks his heart
       Asus2
Cause he already knows
       G        Asus2    D
It wont be like this for long
     G              Asus2
One day soon that little girl is gonna be 
          F#      Bm    Asus2
All grown up and gone
          G              D 
Yeah this phase is gonna fly by
Asus2   A#m   Bm   Asus2 G
He's try'n to hold on
      Asus2              Bm   Asus2  G
It wont be like this for long
      Asus2             G
It wont be like this for long
