A                                              D A D A
Raspberry seeds stuck in between your baby teeth
A             Amaj7   A            D           Dmaj7 A D A
Ooh blueberry jewels staining your tulip cheeks
A                                    D       Dmaj7 A D A
Baby's first steps, holding onto my two legs
    A              D                       Dmaj7 A D A
And I was only 21, your mother was only 18


[Chorus]
       A                   E
Oh I'm trying so much harder
       A                              E A E A
oh I'm trying harder than ever before
       A                   E
Oh I'm trying, oh I'm trying
        A                                       E A E A
Oh I'm trying harder than I've ever tried before


[Verse 2]
A                                                                         Dmaj7 A D A
Down with the training wheels, this family learns by scraping their knees
A                                                               Dmaj7 A D A
You have your mothers eyes, but your face looks a lot like mine
                 D         Dmaj7 A D A
We only take video memories
Amaj7          A              D       Dmaj7 A D A
Your mother is 21, and I turn 25 today


[Chorus]
       A                   E
Oh I'm trying so much harder
       A                              E A E A
oh I'm trying harder than ever before
       A                   E
Oh I'm trying, oh I'm trying
        A                                       E A E A
Oh I'm trying harder than I've ever tried before
