        G             D              A         Bm    A
Lying there in bed listening To his new born baby cry
     G              D                   A          Bm
He makes a pot of coffee  He splashes water on his face

His wife gives him a kiss and says It gonna be OK

At the week we brought her home

VERSE
             G             D
Four years later 'bout four thirty
         A               D
She's crawling in their bed
              G               D
And when he drops her off at preschool
        A           Bm     A
She's clinging to his leg
     G                 D
The teacher peels her off of him
   A           Bm
He says what can I do
     G                 D
She says now dont you worry
                A            D
This will only last a week or two
 
CHORUS
        G       A         D
It wont be like this for long
         G              A
One day soon you'll drop her off
              F#m             Bm     A
And she wont even know your gone
       G             D/F#
This phase is gonna fly by
A      F#   Bm       A
If you can just hold on
G       A                  G    D
It wont be like this for long
 
BRIDGE
         Em
Some day soon she'll be a teenager
        D
And at times he'll think she hates him 
             G                D
Then he'll walk her down the isle
              Asus4   A       F#
And raise her veil
           Bm
But right now she up and cry'n
        D
And the truth is that he don’t mind
        G           D
As he kisses her good night
                  Asus4   A
And she says her prayers
 
VERSE
    G                D
He lays down there beside her
         A                  Bm
'Til her eyes are finally closed
          G               D
And just watching her it breaks his heart
       A         D
Cause he already knows
 
CHORUS
           G    A       D
It wont be like this for long
         G               A
One day soon that little girl is gonna be 
F#m                Bm       A
All grown up and gone
            G             D
Yeah this phase is gonna fly by 
  A     F#    Bm        A
So he's trying to hold on
  G           A              Bm
'Cause it wont be like this for long
G      A               D
It wont be like this for long
