Intro
[G] [D] [Asus2] [D]
Verse
He [G]didn't have to [D]wake up
[Asus2]He'd been up all [D]night
Lying [G]there in bed [D]listening
To his [Asus2]newborn baby [Bm]cry[Asus2]
He [G]makes a pot of [D]coffee
He splashes[Asus2] water on his [D]face
His [G]wife gives him a [D]kiss and says
It gonna[Asus2] be OK[D]
Chorus
It won't be[G] like [Asus2]this for [D]long
One [G]day we'll look back [Asus2]laugh'n
At the [F#m]week we brought her [Bm]home[Asus2]
This [G]phase is gonna [D]fly by
So [F#m]baby [Bm]just [Asus2]hold on
[G]It won't [Asus2]be like this for [D]long
Verse
Four years [G]later 'bout [D]four thirty
[Asus2]She's crawling in their [D]bed
And when he [G]drops her off at [D]pre-school
[Asus2]She's clinging to his [Bm]leg[Asus2]
The [G]teacher peels her [D]off of him
He [Asus2]says what can I [Bm]do[Asus2]
She [G]says now don't you [D]worry
This will only [Asus2]last a week or [D]two
Chorus
It won't be[G] like [Asus2]this for [D]long
One day [G]soon you'll drop[Asus2] her off
And she won't [F#m]even know you're [Bm]gone[Asus2]
This [G]phase is gonna [D]fly by
[Asus2]If you can [F#m]just [Bm]hold on[Asus2]
[G]It won't [Asus2]be like this for [D]long
Bridge
[Em]Some day[F#m] soon [G]she'll be a[D] teenager
And at [D]times he'll think she hates him
Then he'll [G]walk her down the [D]aisle
And raise her [Asus4]veil[F#][A]
But right [Bm]now she up and cry'n
And the [D]truth is that he don't mind
As he [G]kisses her [D]good night
And she says her [Asus4]prayers[A]
Verse
He [G]lays down there [D]beside her
'Til her [Asus2]eyes are finally [D]closed
And just [G]watch'n her it [D]breaks his heart
Cause[Asus2] he already [D]knows
Chorus
It won't be [G]like [Asus2]this for [D]long
One day [G]soon that little [Asus2]girl is gonna be
[F#m]All grown up and [Bm]gone[Asus2]
Yeah this [G]phase is gonna [D]fly by
So[Asus2] he's [F#m]try'n to [Bm]hold on[Asus2]
[G]'Cause it won't[Asus2] be like this for [Bm]looooooong[Asus2]
[G]It won't[Asus2] be like this for [D]long
