  It's five a.m. and they're tuggin' on the covers 
F#m11/C# 
  You and me, baby, lookin' at each other like, 
G#m/D# 
  Who's turn is it this time?

        E 
Days are long, go on and on 
           F#m11/C# 
Before you know it, man they're up and gone 
               G#m/D# 
So tough it on out, let it all sink in 
                         F#m11/C# 
'Cause these times ain't never comin' back again 
                      E

Up. Take a breath when you wanna...

   E 
It used to be us in our own little world 
F#m11/C# 
  Now we got - four little girls 
G#m/D# 
  So much for just dancin' in the kitchen 
F#m11/C# 
One needs a nap and the other needs attention 
      E 
I say, "Come here. Baby, why you cryin? 
F#m11/C# 
  Daddy's got ya, everything's fine, yeah" 
G#m/D# 
  I pick her up. I put her on my shoulder 
       F#m11/C# 
Better hold her while she lets me hold her
