[Verse 1]
E                                       C#m/A
Hospital to home was a four minute drive
       E                                A
With a baby on board made it thirty five
   E                             C#m/A
We didn't sleep a wink that night
     E                                       A
Just laid by that crib singing nursery rhymes

[Pre-Chorus]
                        E              A/E E
These are the days that we'll want back

The kindergarten drop off line
    E                                  A
His first day of school didn't even cry
E                              C#m/A
That was when we knew that life
      E                         A
Had a funny way of passing us by

[Pre-Chorus]
                        E              A
These are the days that we'll want back

           E         B    
Give' em a kiss good night
          C#m     A      
Darling before we know it
         E             B    
This old house will be quiet
             C#m         A  
I know we're tired right now
                  E      B      
But someday we'll laugh about it
              C#m      A       B    
Let's slow it down and raise a glass

These are the days that we'll want back

E                               C#m/A
Took us a day to build that bike
             E                                  A
Felt like we only got a minute to watch him ride
         E                                C#m/A
Juggling dinner, school and practice times
          E                                          A
Trying to make it through to that glass of cheap wine

[Pre-Chorus]
                        E              
These are the days that we'll want back

We'll want back

Give' em a kiss good night
          C#m     A      
Darling before we know it
         E             B    
This old house will be quiet
             C#m         A  
I know we're tired right now
                  E      B      
But someday we'll laugh about it
              C#m      A       B    
Let's slow it down and raise a glass
                        E              C#m B
These are the days that we'll want back

[Bridge]
           C#m       A     E         B     
All of the countless crazy sleepless nights
           C#m             A              E             B    
All of the firsts' and the lasts' and the tears that we cried
           C#m           A           E            B  
All of the how does this work Dad and Mom tell me why
           C#m           A          E  
Sometimes growing up feels like goodbye

[Verse 4]
E                                     C#m/A
There was time when we were your world
          E                            A
Now you're moving on to marry your girl
   E                               C#m/A
Go buy her a house and call it home
     E                               A  E
Give her a life and some kids of her own

[Chorus]
          C#m      A      
Tell them bed time stories
           E         B    
Give' em a kiss good night
        C#m      A      
Cause before you know it
         E             B    
That old house will be quiet
              C#m        A  
I know you're wild right now
              E      B      
Someday we'll laugh about it
              C#m       A        B   
Let's raise a glass and toast to that
             C#m     A       B  
We'll always be your mom and dad
                        E              A
These are the days that we'll want back
