Darius Rucker- It won't be like this for long

This tab works well for folks with deeper singing voices
or those who like a richer sound

Intro:  E  x2

    E
He didnt have to wake up

E
He'd been up all night

      E
Lying there in bed listening

       Bsus2
To his new born baby cry

   E
He makes a pot of coffee

           E
He splashes water on his face

    E
His wife gives him a kiss and says

       E
It gonna be OK


        E
It wont be like this for long

        Bsus2
One day soon we'll look back laugh'n

        Bsus2
At the week we brought her home

      E
This phase is gonna fly by

Bsus2
So baby just hold on

E
It wont be like this for long



           E
Four years later 'bout four thirty

E
She's crawling in there bed

            E
And when he drops her off at preschool

  Bsus2
She's clinging to his leg

    E
The teacher peels her off of him

   Bsus2
He says what can I do

   E
She says now dont you worry

               E
This will only last a week or two



         E
It wont be like this for long

       Bsus2
One day soon you'll drop her off

              Bsus2
And she wont even know your gone

     E
This phase is gonna fly by

Bsus2
If you can just hold on

E
It wont be like this for long



         G#
Some day soon she'll be a teenager

        Bsus2
And at times he'll think she hates him

           E
Then he'll walk her down the isle

              C#
And raise her vale

          G#
But right now she up and cry'n

        Bsus2
And the truth is that he dont mind

      E
As he kisses her good night

                  Bsus2
And she says her prayers



    E
He lays down there beside her

         E
'Til her eyes are finally closed

          E
And just watch'n her it breaks his heart

     E
Cause he already knows




         E
It wont be like this for long

        Bsus2
One day soon that little girl is gonna be

Bsus2
All grown up and gone

          E
Yeah this phase is gonna fly by

  Bsus2
So he's try'n to hold on

  Bsus2
'Cause it wont be like this for looooooong

E
It wont be like this for long
