      [Intro]
Eb Cm Ab Abm

[Verse]
Eb
If you want to
              Cm
try and step into
                 Ab
another kind of shoe
                 Abm
I’ll be right behind

Eb
And she might
            Cm
be a little bit like
                Ab
me but more of you
                        Abm
well I hope that as he grew

Eb
What if
                 Cm
she would maybe look like
               Ab
you so beautiful that
         Abm
I’d have two

Eb
Well they’ll grow
                      Cm
slower than the wind blows
                     Ab     Abm
But faster as each day goes by

[Chorus]
Fm                              G
And when they're old enough to run

they'll walk away one day
    Cm                F
And I would have you back

Fm
Until then I can share,
       G
I’ll wait for when there's time to spare
Cm                       F
But it always goes too fast

Ab
You should be the first to know
       Abm                       Eb
that all I need is you and you alone

[Verse]
Eb
Well I guess
                    Cm
that probably if I knew then
               Ab
I'd finally understand when
Abm
Because “I told you so”

           Eb
became a reason
                 Cm
To know is too imposin
                          Ab
And life is what’s been chosen,
Abm
but not by you and me

Eb
And so then,
                       Cm
we watch them come and go and
               Ab
Quietly they grow into
                   Abm
someone just like you

Eb
And I know
                 Cm
that I can only say so
                   Ab
Many times that I won't ever let you down
              Abm
Until I show you


[Chorus]
Fm                               G
And when they're old enough to run
                       Cm
they'll walk away one day
                      F
And I would have you back


Fm
Until then I can share,
      G
I’ll wait for when there's time to spare
         Cm             F
But it always goes too fast

Fm                            G
And every time they run past me

and straight to you
        Cm                     F
I'll understand cause I would too

Ab
But you should be the first to know
      Abm                        Eb
that all I need is you and you alone


Eb  Cm  Ab  Abm
