Tom: Ebm
B F#
Playing in the backyard, whispering in the dark
A#7 D#m
Catching fireflies in mason jars
B F# A#7
It's two thousand and seven, the closest that I'll ever get to heaven
A# D#m
But I can't see that far
B A# D#m
And you were still a baby, of course you'll always be my little lady
A#
But then you were free
B A#
Before you started caring 'bout what you were wearing
D#m A#
God, you're turning into me
[Chorus]
D#m B
I want to hold your little face, just look at you and say
F# A#
It's not as good as it seems
D#m B
'Cause growing up's forever, it never gets better
F# A#
Than being a kid with a dream
[Interlude]
B F# A# B (x2)
[Verse 2]
B F#
I never knew you would care about me leaving
A#7 D#m
'Til I see you on the street when we're packing up the car
B F# A#
Your soft smile, those wide eyes, it's like you're five years old again
D#m
Trying not to cry
Bm F#
My whole world's getting bigger now
A# D#m
I promise you I'm not leaving you out
B F# A# D#m
Enjoy it now while it's here, 'cause this'll be you in a couple of years
B F# A#
[Chorus]
D#m B
I want to hold your little face, just look at you and say
F# A#
It's not as good as it seems
B
'Cause growing up's forever, it never gets better
F# A#
Than being a kid with a dream
B F# A#
(single strum)
[Bridge]
B F# A# D#m
My first night away, it sets in that this is my place now
B F# A# D#m
I tried to go back in my mind but it's not the same now
B F#
I'm really still a baby, and you're my little lady
A# (resume strum) D#m
There's so much we haven't seen
B F#
From a thousand miles away, I'll kiss you on the face
A# B
And say goodnight, and sweet dreams
