      [Intro]

(See the verse for timing.)
D D A Bm Bm A G Gm X2

[Verse]
D              D       A      Bm  Bm     A       G            Gm
If you want to try and step into another kind of shoe I’ll be right behind
D            D    A      Bm       Bm     A       G          Gm
And he might be a little bit like me but more of you well I hope that as he grew
D                 D     A         Bm     Bm    A        G        Gm
What if she would maybe look like you so beautiful that I’d have two
D                 D      A        Bm         Bm         A       G        Gm
Well they’ll grow slower than the wind blows but faster as each day goes by

D

[Chorus]
Em                             F#                                Bm      A        E
And when they're old enough to run they'll walk away one day and I would have you back
Em                            F#                                         Bm     A        E
Until then I can share - I’ll wait for when there's time to spare but it always goes too fast
G                                    Gm
You should be the first to know that all I need is you and you alone

[Interlude]
(See the verse for timing.)
D D A Bm Bm A G Gm

[Verse]
D                 D        A    Bm            Bm      A    G          Gm
Well I guess that probably if I knew then I'd finally understand when because “I told you so” became a
D          D    A      Bm            Bm      A           G        Gm
reason. To know is too imposing, and life is what’s been chosen - but not by you and me
D                D          A        Bm     Bm   A       G         Gm
And so then - we watch them come and go and quietly they grow into someone just like you
D               D     A    Bm     Bm   A          G       Gm
And I know that I can only say so many times that I won't ever let you down
D
until I show you

[Chorus]
Em                             F#                                Bm      A        E
And when they're old enough to run they'll walk away one day and I would have you back
Em                            F#                                         Bm     A        E
Until then I can share - I’ll wait for when there's time to spare but it always goes too fast
Em                           F#                            Bm          A       E
And every time they run past me and straight to you I understand cause I would too
G                                        Gm
But you should be the first to know that all I need is you and you alone

[Outro]

D D A Bm Bm A G Gm
