No capo
On B7 he alternates his middle finger between the A string and E string
on the second fret once for every beat (A,E,A,E)
[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
A E
I was standin’ out at Stanfield, had to go away
B7 E
Saw a brand new baby and the mother’s face
A E
I knew that it was over, all those early days
B7 E
Our babies are not babies, we’ll never be the same
[Verse 2]
A E
Shopping cart full of toddlers at the Superstore
B7 E
They were eatin’ Goldfish, askin’ for more
A E
An old man lined up behind us, and he shook his head
B7 E
The kids were strangely quiet, I heard him when he said
[Chorus]
A E
You’ve got to hold on, it goes so fast
B7 E
These early days, well, they don’t last
A E
Got to enjoy them, they go so fast
B7 E
The baby days, well, they don’t last
[Verse 3]
A E
Look forward to the evenin’ when the monkeys go to bed
B7 E
Then we talk all night about ’em, we feel half dead
A E
We used to be too tired to eat in
B7 E
but it’s a total crap shoot to eat out
[Chorus]
A E
You’ve got to hold on, it goes so fast
B7 E
These early days, well, they don’t last
A E
Got to enjoy them, they go so fast
B7 E
The baby days, well, they don’t last
[Verse 4]
A E
Oh you’re gettin’ rid of diapers that you washed every night
B7 E
And we’re saving up for date night so we can have our fight
A E
If its quiet for a moment, oh you better run upstairs
B7 E
‘Cause the toothpaste in the bathroom is redefining everywhere
[Chorus]
A E
You’ve got to hold on, it goes so fast
B7 E
These early days, well, they don’t last
A E
Got to enjoy them, they go so fast
B7 E
The baby days, well, they don’t last
[Verse 5]
A E
Oh, I like the way you talk now, you talk like me
B7 E
All the funny things you’re saying, you’re real good company
A E
Oh, the odds are strong on crazy, and on love profound
B7 E
you make our messy house feel like holy ground
[Chorus]
