   A              E          B 
He didn't have to wake up 
                 E 
He'd been up all night 
      A             E 
Lyin' there in bed listenin' 
       B             C#m     B 
To his new born baby cry 
   A              E 
He makes a pot of coffee 
           B             C#m 
He splashes water on his face 
    A                E 
His wife gives him a kiss and says 
          B     E 
It's gonna be okay
[Ritornello]
         A       B        E    E* 
It won't be like this for long 
    A                   B 
One day we'll look back laughin' 
       G#m                 C#m    B 
At the week we brought her home 
     A                  E        B 
This phase is gonna fly by   
         C        C#m    B       A 
So baby just hold on

           A                E 
Four years later 'bout four-thirty  
     B                  E 
She's crawlin' in their bed 
            A                E 
And when he drops her off at preschool 
     B                C#m    B 
She's clinging to his leg 
    A                 E 
The teacher peels her off of him 
   B                 C#m 
He says, "What can I do?" 
    A                    E 
She says, "Now don't you worry, 
             B              E 
This'll only last a week or two."
[Ritornello]
         A       B        E    E* 
It won't be like this for long 
        A                     B 
One day soon you'll drop her off 
              G#m              C#m    B 
And she won't even know you're gone 
     A                  E        B 
This phase is gonna fly by   
           C         C#m    B       A 
If you can just hold on 
         B                  *Walkdown begins 
It won't be like this for long

(E)      F#m 
Some day soon she'll be a teenager 
       G#m 
And at times he'll think she hates him 
           A                        G#m 
Then he'll walk her down the aisle 
              B     C 
And raise her veil 
          C#m 
But right now she's up and cryin' 
        B 
And the truth is that he don't mind 
      A                     E/G# 
As he kisses her good night 
                 B 
And she says her prayers
[Versetto]
   A                 E 
He lays down there beside her 
         B                C#m 
'Til her eyes are finally closed 
         A               E 
And just watchin' her it breaks his heart 
       B 
'Cause he already knows
[Ritornello]
         A       B        E    E* 
It won't be like this for long 
        A                        B 
One day soon that little girl is gonna be 
G#m              C#m    B 
All grown up and gone 
           A                  E 
Yeah, this phase is gonna fly by 
   B       C    C#m    B    A 
So, he's tryin' to hold on 
                B                C#m       B 
'Cause it won't be like this for long 
         A                B 
It won't be like this for long
