Tuning: G C E A (G C E A) Verse 1: C Gmaj7 Playing in the backyard, whispering in the dark G7 A7 Catching fireflies in mason jars C Gmaj7 G7 It's two thousand and seven, the closest that I'll ever get to heaven A7 But I can't see that far Am7 A7 Gmaj7 And you were still a baby, of course you'll always be my little lady A7 But then you were free Am7 A7 Before you started caring 'bout what you were wearing Gmaj7 A7 God, you're turning into me

Chorus: Am7 A7 I want to hold your little face, just look at you and say Gmaj7 G7 It's not as good as it seems Am7 A7 'Cause growing up's forever, it never gets better Gmaj7 D Than being a kid with a dream Bridge: C G A7 My first night away, it sets in that this is my place now C G A7 I tried to go back in my mind but it's not the same now AM7 A7 I'm really still a baby, and you're my little lady Gmaj7 A7 There's so much we haven't seen AM7 A7 From a thousand miles away, I'll kiss you on the face C G And say goodnight and sweet dreams
