[Intro]
G D Asus2 D x2
[Verse]
G D
He didn't have to wake up
Asus2 D
He'd been up all night
G D
Lying there in bed listening
Asus2 Bm Asus2
To his newborn baby cry
G D
He makes a pot of coffee
Asus2 D
He splashes water on his face
G D
His wife gives him a kiss and says
Asus2 D
It gonna be OK
[Chorus]
G Asus2 D
It won't be like this for long
G Asus2
One day we'll look back laugh'n
F#m Bm Asus2
At the week we brought her home
G D
This phase is gonna fly by
F#m Bm Asus2
So baby just hold on
G Asus2 D
It won't be like this for long
[Verse]
G D
Four years later 'bout four thirty
Asus2 D
She's crawling in their bed
G D
And when he drops her off at pre-school
Asus2 Bm Asus2
She's clinging to his leg
G D
The teacher peels her off of him
Asus2 Bm Asus2
He says what can I do
G D
She says now don't you worry
Asus2 D
This will only last a week or two
[Chorus]
G Asus2 D
It won't be like this for long
G Asus2
One day soon you'll drop her off
F#m Bm Asus2
And she won't even know you're gone
G D
This phase is gonna fly by
Asus2 F#m Bm Asus2
If you can just hold on
G Asus2 D
It won't be like this for long
[Bridge]
Em F#m G D
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 aisle
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
Asus2 D
'Til her eyes are finally closed
G D
And just watch'n her it breaks his heart
Asus2 D
Cause he already knows
[Chorus]
G Asus2 D
It won't be like this for long
G Asus2
One day soon that little girl is gonna be
F#m Bm Asus2
All grown up and gone
G D
Yeah this phase is gonna fly by
Asus2 F#m Bm Asus2
So he's try'n to hold on
G Asus2 Bm Asus2
'Cause it won't be like this for looooooong
G Asus2 D
It won't be like this for long
[Outro]

Hey, here's the tab to the intro part if you want to put it into the song (relative to the capo):
e-----------------------------------------------------------|
B--3-2-------------------------3-2--------------------------|
G------4-2-------------------------4-2----------------------|
D----------4---4/5\4--2---4------------4---4/5\4--2---------|
A-----------------------5---------------------------5---5---|

+3

The beginning (first 4 chords) of the "Someday soon she'll be a teenager..." section I think should be this...
em - f#m - G - D
also in the chorus', the section that is "If you can just hold on" sounds more like this...
Asus2 - F#/A# - bm - Asus2
Otherwise it's good!
+1

Bridge also has the wrong progression. The correct tab seems to be Ver 5 by asdsoupdsa https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/darius-rucker/it-wont-be-like-this-for-long-chords-1738601
