♫ Verse 1:
A augmentedA B minorBm G+G
Wasn't I brushing the hair from your face
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
Wasn't I just drying your tears and
G+G A augmentedA
Singing you sweet dreams at night
B minorBm G+G
Seems like it was just yesterday
A augmentedA B minorBm
Suddenly you're seventeen
G+G B minorBm
And it's just eighteen months till goodbye
♫ Pre-Chorus:
GbGb
I'd rather deny it
D MajorD
And God knows I've tried
E MajorE
I could keep you here at home
G minorGm G+G
But I know
♫ Chorus:
D MajorD
Loving you is holding you
A augmentedA
And lifting you up
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
And planting the seeds and then watching you grow
D MajorD
Even though it's hard to do
A augmentedA
It's letting you fall
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
And giving you wings so you fly on your own
D MajorD
'Cause part of loving you is letting you go
♫ Solo:

A augmentedA B minorBm G+G
All of your life I've prepared you to leave
A augmentedA B minorBm
Now that little boys all grown up
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
And it's too late for changing your mind
B minorBm G+G A augmentedA B minorBm
Nobody ever warned me that the years go too fast
G+G B minorBm
And there's just no pressing rewind

GbGb
'Cause time is a liar
D MajorD
Wish I could set the clock on fire
E MajorE
Turn it back to yesterday
G minorGm D MajorD
But it just keeps ticking away

D MajorD
Loving you is holding you
A augmentedA
And lifting you up
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
And planting the seeds and then watching you grow

It's letting you fall

And giving you wings so you fly on your own

You were also born to fly away
