2007

 B                           F#
Playing in the backyard, whispering 
in the dark
  A#7                     D#m
Catching fireflies in mason jars
   B                            
It's two thousand and seven, the 
F#                          A#7
closest that I'll ever get to heaven
 A#        D#m
But I can't see that far

 B                        
And you were still a baby, 
A#                           D#m
of course you'll always be my little
 lady
   A#
But then you were free
  B                              
Before you started caring 'bout what
A#
 you were wearing
 D#m                  A#
God, you're turning into me


[Chorus]
  D#m                           
I want to hold your little face, 
       B
just look at you and say
 F#              A#
It's not as good as it seems
  D#m                          
'Cause growing up's forever, it 
   B
never gets better
Continúa después del anuncio
   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                       
'Til I see you on the street when 
         D#m
we're packing up the car
      B                 F#        
Your soft smile, those wide eyes, 
       A#
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#       
Enjoy it now while it's here, 
             A#                   
'cause this'll be you in a couple 
D#m
of years

B F# A#

[Chorus]
          D#m                   
I want to hold your little face, 
        B
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# 
My first night away, it sets in 
                D#m
that this is my place now
 B          F#            A#     
I tried to go back in my mind but
               D#m
 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                              
From a thousand miles away, I'll 
   F#
kiss you on the face
          A#           B
And say goodnight, and sweet dreams
