🎸 Verse 1:
E MajorE                    A augmentedA
 No one ever told you it would be like this
E MajorE                     A augmentedA
 That you keep on getting older, but you feel just like a kid
E MajorE
 Now they treat you like a lady
A augmentedA               E MajorE
 Sometimes all you want is to cry like a baby
     A augmentedA
In your mama's arms

🎸 Verse 2:
E MajorE                A augmentedA
 See her in the mirror in your make-up case
E MajorE                 A augmentedA
 Who's that little girl with the lines on her face
E MajorE              A augmentedA
 Painting on the eyes of a grown woman
     E MajorE       A augmentedA
And the smile of a child trying to please someone
E MajorE                  A augmentedA
 You look like your mama when you smile that way
E MajorE                A augmentedA
 Standing in the kitchen at the end of a working day
E MajorE          A augmentedA
 Children on her mind, wine on her breath
E MajorE               A augmentedA
 Finishing the dishes in the darkness

Hold on, little big girl
   F#F#
Hold on

🎸 Bridge:
A augmentedA
Hold on a minute, mom
Tell me why
F#F#           A augmentedA
 How come I feel so small sometimes?
F#F#              A augmentedA
I thought by now I'd have it all figured out
    F#F#
Well I don't
          A augmentedA
How come you never told me?

🎸 Verse 3:
E MajorE
 You grow up by mistake
A augmentedA
 Grow up by surprise
E MajorE                A augmentedA
 Grow up underneath the gaze of many grown men's eyes
E MajorE                 A augmentedA
 Try to act your age now, but you don't know how it's done
E MajorE                 A augmentedA
All grown up and somehow still afraid to disappoint someone
E MajorE                 A augmentedA
 Let him have his way instead of saying what you want
   E MajorE
Hold on
                F# minorF#m
Tell him it's okay instead of telling him what's wrong
   E MajorE
Hold on
                   A augmentedA
How come you're ashamed to show your face without your make-up on?
E MajorE                    A augmentedA
 Maybe you should face that you're ashamed to not be young

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
E MajorE
Standing in the kitchen
A augmentedA
 With a ticking clock
     E MajorE
And you catch your own reflection
    A augmentedA
In the window in the dark
      E MajorE
And for a moment, it's your mama
A augmentedA
 Coming home from work
E MajorE
 Tell her you love her
A augmentedA
T ell her you're her

🎸 Chorus:
    F#F#   A augmentedA
Little big girl, hold on
    F#F#   A augmentedA
Little big girl, hold on
    F#F#   A augmentedA    E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
Little big girl, hold on
   E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
Hold on
