♫ 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:
D MajorD   GbmGbm  GbmGbm  B minorBm  D MajorD  G+G

♫ Verse 2:
      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

♫ Pre-Chorus:
         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

♫ 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, oh

♫ Bridge:
GbmGbm                B minorBm
  No matter how I wanna make you stay
A augmentedA      G+G
  You were also born to fly away

♫ 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, oh oh oh
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
