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

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

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

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

These early days, well, they don’t last

Got to enjoy them, they go so fast 
         B7                     E 
The baby days, well, they don’t last

                         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

                            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

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