To his new born baby cry
                   E
He makes a pot of coffee
        Bsus2            C#m
He splashes water on his face

His wife gives him a kiss and says
        Bsus2   E

       F#m                  
One day soon she'll be a teenager
      G#m
And at times you'll think she hates him
          Asus2         
Then he'll walk her down the isle
C#m              Bsus2
And he'll raise her vale
  Cm      C#m
But right now she up and cry'n
        Bsus2
And the truth is that he dont mind
      Asus2
As he kisses her good night
               Bsus2
And she says her prayers
     Asus2         E
He lays down there beside her
         Bsus2           C#m
Till her eyes are finally closed
         Asus2         E
And just watch'n her it breaks his heart
       Bsus2
Cause he already knows
       Asus2      Bsus2        E
It wont be like this for long
