{c:intro}
[D]
{c:verse 1}
I was standin’ out at [G]Stanfield, had to go a-[D]way
Saw a brand new [A7]baby, and the mother’s [D]face
I knew that it was [G]over, all those early [D]days
Our babies are not [A7]babies, we’ll never be the [D]same
{c:verse 2}
Shopping cart full of [G]toddlers, at the Super-[D]store
They were eatin’ [A7]Goldfish, askin’ for [D]more
An old man lined up be-[G]hind us, and he shook his [D]head
The kids were strangely [A7]quiet, I heard him when he [D]said
{soc}
You’ve got to [G]hold on, it goes [D]so fast
These early [A7]days, well, they don’t [D]last
Got to en-[G]joy them, they go [D]so fast
The baby [A7]days, well, they don’t [D]last
{eoc}
{c:verse 3}
Look forward to the [G]evenin’, when the monkeys go to [D]bed
Then we talk all night a-[A7]bout ’em, we feel half [D]dead
We used to be too [G]tired, to eat [D]in
But it’s a total [A7]crap shoot, to eat [D]out
{soc}
You’ve got to [G]hold on, it goes [D]so fast
These early [A7]days, well, they don’t [D]last
Got to en-[G]joy them, they go [D]so fast
The baby [A7]days, well, they don’t [D]last
{eoc}
{c:verse 4}
Oh you’re gettin’ rid of [G]diapers, that you washed every [D]night
And we’re saving up for [A7]date night, so we can have our [D]fight
If its quiet for a [G]moment, oh you better run up-[D]stairs
‘Cause the toothpaste in the [A7]bathroom, is redefining every-[D]where
{soc}
You’ve got to [G]hold on, it goes [D]so fast
These early [A7]days, well, they don’t [D]last
Got to en-[G]joy them, they go [D]so fast
The baby [A7]days, well, they don’t [D]last
{eoc}
{c:verse 5}
Oh, I like the way you [G]talk now, you talk like [D]me
All the funny things you’re [A7]saying, you’re real good compa-[D]ny
Oh, the odds are strong on [G]crazy, and on love pro-[D]found
You make our messy [A7]house feel, like holy [D]ground
{soc}
[N.C.]You’ve got to hold on, it goes so fast
[N.C.]These early days, well, they don’t last
[N.C.]Got to enjoy them, they go so fast
[N.C.]The baby days, well, they don’t last
