[E] He [B]
[E] [E] [B]
[A] didn't [E] have to wake up, [B]
even [E] up all night, [A] lying there in [E] bed listening [B] to his newborn baby cry.
[A] He makes a pot [E] of coffee [B] and splashes water [C#m] on his face.
[A] His wife gives [E] him a kiss and says it's [B] gonna be [E] okay.
It [A] won't be [B] like this [E] for long.
[A] One day we'll [B] look back laughing [G#m] at the week we brought her home.
[A] This phase is gonna [E] fly by, [B]
so baby just hold on.
[A] [B] It won't be like [F#m] this for long.
[E] [B] [E] [A] Four years later, about [E] 4.30,. [B] she's crawling [E] in their bed. [A] And when he drops her off [E] at preschool, [B] she's clanging to his leg. [A] The teacher peels [E] her off for him. [B] He says, what can [C#m] I do? [A] She says, now don't [E] you worry. This [B] will only last a week [E] or two. It [A] won't be [B] like this [E] for long. One [A] day soon you'll drop [B] her off and she [G#m] won't even know you're gone. [A] This phase is gonna [E] fly by. [B] If you can just hold on. [A] It [B] won't be like this [F#m] for [E] long. [F#m] Someday soon she'll be a teenager. [E] And at times he'll think she hates him. [A] Then he'll walk her down the [E] aisle and raise [B] her veil. [C#m] But right now she's up and crying. And [B] the truth is that he don't mind. [A] As he gives her a good [E] night and she says her prayers. [B] [A] He lays down there [E] beside her. [B] Till her eyes are finally [C#m] closed. And [A] just [E] watching her it breaks his heart. [B] Cause he already knows. It [A] won't be like [B] this for [E] long. One day [A] soon that little [B] girl is gonna be [G#m] all [C#m] grown up and gone. And [A] this phase is gonna fly [E] by. So [B] he's trying to hold [A] on. Cause it won't [B] be like this for long. [A] It won't [B] be like this for long. [E] [E] [B]
