Verse
Em                                   D            G
    Time flies like a teenage heartbeat.
 Em
Feels like we were seventeen last night
 D          C
Now you're fightin' with your kids in the car seat
 Em
They ain't got my eyes like I thought they might
 D                G
Every day, kinda wonder where you're headed.
 Em
In your life, in your Lululemon.
 D       C
Smile and wave at you on the way to work
Like it don't, but the truth is it hurts like a

Mother, see you runnin' 'round town in your 4Runner
 Em
Drivin' with your babies in the back
 C
Say you always wanted one named Jack.
Kinda love and hate to see you like that
 Em
It's a bummer
 G
Every other red light, I wonder if you wonder
If you'd Do it different if you could
 Em                                                            C
You a bad ex to have in the small-town woods, but ****

Always knew you'd make a real good mother

 Em                                      D                   G
I guess your future turned out fine without me in it
 Em
Still amazed how fast I heard wedding bells
 D            C
Cemetery's 'bout to get me six feet in it
 Em
Watchin' you play house with someone else
 D           G
Down the street, so I can't ignore it
 Em
Only got one regret, and you're it
 D           C
I'll shake his hand like it's nothin' at church
Bow my head, prayin', "Lord, this hurts like a"
