[Intro]

E


[Verse 1]
                      A                    E
I was standin’ out at Stanfield, had to go away
                B7                        E
Saw a brand new baby and the mother’s face
                   A                     E
I knew that it was over, all those early days
                   B7                         E
Our babies are not babies, we’ll never be the same


[Verse 2]

                      A                    E
Shopping cart full of toddlers at the Superstore
                 B7                   E
They were eatin’ Goldfish, askin’ for more
                      A                         E
An old man lined up behind us, and he shook his head
                        B7                         E
The kids were strangely quiet, I heard him when he said


[Chorus]

              A                E
You’ve got to hold on, it goes so fast
            B7                     E
These early days, well, they don’t last
             A             E
Got to enjoy them, they go so fast
         B7                     E
The baby days, well, they don’t last


[Verse 3]

                    A                              E
Look forward to the evenin’ when the monkeys go to bed
                        B7                     E
Then we talk all night about ’em, we feel half dead
                  A            E
We used to be too tired to eat in 
                 B7                E
but it’s a total crap shoot to eat out


[Chorus] 
     
              A                E
You’ve got to hold on, it goes so fast
            B7                     E
These early days, well, they don’t last
             A             E
Got to enjoy them, they go so fast
         B7                     E
The baby days, well, they don’t last


[Verse 4]

                         A                             E
Oh you’re gettin’ rid of diapers that you washed every night
                        B7                            E
And we’re saving up for date night so we can have our fight
                   A                           E
If its quiet for a moment, oh you better run upstairs
                             B7                          E
‘Cause the toothpaste in the bathroom is redefining everywhere


[Chorus]

              A                E
You’ve got to hold on, it goes so fast
            B7                     E
These early days, well, they don’t last
             A             E
Got to enjoy them, they go so fast
         B7                     E
The baby days, well, they don’t last


[Verse 5]

                       A                       E
Oh, I like the way you talk now, you talk like me
                            B7                             E
All the funny things you’re saying, you’re real good company
                           A                     E
Oh, the odds are strong on crazy, and on love profound
                   B7                   E
you make our messy house feel like holy ground


[Chorus]

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


[Verse 6]

                      A                    E
Shopping cart full of toddlers at the Superstore
                 B7                   E
They were eatin’ Goldfish, askin’ for more
                      A                         E
An old man lined up behind us, and he shook his head
                        B7                         E
The kids were strangely quiet, I heard him when he said
